We find in Ether 10:21 that the Jaredites "did preserve the land southward for a wilderness to get game." The land southward was a "wilderness" and according to Ether 10:19 apparently "covered with animals of the forest. The "wilderness" was apparently the "south wilderness" that is described in Alma 22:31 [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes] [See the commentary on Alma 22:31-32; Ether 9:33; 10:19]
