antonym of synanthropenoun
synanthrope means animals that exploit humans for food, shelter, or safety, for example, feral pigeons, squirrels, most songbirds, deer, foxes, etc. the opposite of a synanthrope is an animal that avoids contact with people and doesn't need human resources: asynanthrope, for example, an eagle, a giraffe, elk, penguin, bears, etc. there is a problem keeping to the strict definitions, because some species that were asynanthropes have become partial synanthropes (bear, moose, coyotes) because of habitat disruption.
brown rats live in cities and are totally subsizdiied by humans, so they are partial synanthropes.

How to use TAME in a sentence?
When Congress passed this legislation, frankly, we jumped for joy, this was so exciting because of the transformative difference this law would make for America's working families. CRITICS SLAM PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR ‘ CELEBRATING ’ SIGNING OF INFLATION REDUCTION ACT : ‘ SLAP IN THE FACE ’ President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law last month after it passed through Congress along party lines, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote in the Senate. The act, lawmakers said, was intended to combat climate change, address health care costs and raise taxes on large corporations. But midway into September, a new report indicated inflation rose more than expected in August, squeezing U.S. households even as the cost of gasoline fell and continued to create a political headache for the president. The Labor Department said Earlier Tuesday that the consumer price index – a broad measure of the price for everyday goods, including gasoline groceries, and rents – rose 8.3 % in August from a year ago. Prices climbed 0.1 % in the one-month period from July. President Joe Biden speaks before signing H.R. 5376, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. ( AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) Those figures were both higher than the 8.1 % headline figure and 0.1 % monthly decline forecast by Refinitiv economists, a worrisome sign for theFederal Reserveas it seeks to cool price gains and tame consumer demand with an aggressive interest rate hike campaign. Stock futures tanked on the surprisingly hot report, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down more than 400 points. Earlier Earlier Tuesday, the president released a statement saying it.
The man for whom law exists -- the man of forms, the Conservative, is a tame man.
Challenge is a dragon with a gift in its mouth…Tame the dragon and the gift is yours.
Expect nothing. Live frugally On surprise. become a stranger To need of pity Or, if compassion be freely Given out Take only enough Stop short of urge to plead Then purge away the need. Wish for nothing larger Than your own small heart Or greater than a star; Tame wild disappointment With caress unmoved and cold Make of it a parka For your soul. Discover the reason why So tiny human midget Exists at all So scared unwise But expect nothing. Live frugally On surprise.
Man, I was tame compared to what they do now, are you kidding ? All that I ever did was just jiggle.
