"Wild Animals" is only one of the possible definitions. As I noted on my post.
"chayyah" can mean:
animals (2), appetite (1), beast (27), beasts (43), creature (2), creatures (3), life (9), life* (1), live* (1), living beings (15), living thing (1), wild animals (1), wild beast (1), wild beasts (1).
So while "beasts" is the most common meaning, in 27 uses it can mean:
life (9), life* (1), live* (1), living beings (15), living thing (1)
The most common use is not the final definition. It's not even the "Most Accurate" meaning becasue of it's higher frequency. Each use is unique.
Again---what God creates needs nothing. He does not create what is not fully and completely functional and He declared the living creatures functional--which means they needed nothing, certainty not in need of being recreated. He made man also fully functional--breathed life into Him --the same breath of life that was given to all living things
Gen_2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen_6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the
breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Gen_7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the
breath of life.
Gen_7:22 All in whose nostrils was the
breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
There was nothing God created that needed any fixing or recreation, nothing. Adam was crested in the image of God from the start. And it was on the same day as the "living creatures," on the 6th day.
Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
