Abstract
Wild herbivores- browsers, grazers, miners and suckers depend much on their symbiotic gut microbiota for deriving nutrients and minerals from forage and tree bark. The wild animals are inhabited by microbial symbionts that impact development, physiology, ecological interaction and adaptation of host, besides their overall well being. In view of these salient merits, the microbiome of wild animals could be a promising source of valuable genes, enzymes and miscellaneous bioactive molecules. The wild and captive animals are less explored, and should therefore be explored for microbial assets in them.
