No. IMHO, this would not cover animals like leopards etc., not as it is used in Germany. "Wildes Tier" is quite OK, "Wildtier" sounds as if it came from a legal text.
Why should a leopard not be a 'Wildtier'? Afaik a 'Wildtier' is an animal which lives in the nature and is not domesticated. Don't get confused with 'Wild' which is a 'Wildtier' which is hunted for food. 'Wildes Tier' is an animal which is untamed and acts wild.
So 'Wildtier' is propably the most exact term but I would prefer the use of the term 'wildes Tier' sounds better to me.
