Wildlife is the third studio album by the British band Mott the Hoople.
The album was originally released in 1971; in the UK by Island Records (catalogue number ILPS 9144) and in the US by Atlantic Records (cat. no. SD 8384). It was subsequently re-released by Angel Air in 2003 SJPCD159.
It reached No. 44 in the UK Albums Chart in April 1971.
(*) This track is a rock and roll medley that, in addition to "Keep A Knockin'", also includes snippets of "I Got A Woman" (by Ray Charles), "What'd I Say" (Charles) and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" (Jerry Lee Lewis). On the recording, however, singer Ian Hunter incorrectly introduces "What'd I Say" as being written by Jerry Lee Lewis.
