Is there a name for the phobia of being afraid of being randomly mauled by animals?

Yeah, hard to ask in question form. A friend of mine said she is afraid of such a thing. For example, if she is outside smoking a cigarette, she will have one hand on the door handle "in case a panther were to jump out" and attack her. Would this be in the general group of animal phobias or is it different, because she is afraid animals that she doesn't even know are (are are likely not) there?

Agrizoophobia would be the closest thing I would say. It's the fear of wild animals.
