In Latin, “by its nature, tame”.

An animal of a type generally considered to be domesticated, gentle, tame, and therefore more apt to serve (or be eaten by) than to attack (or eat) its master.

Dogs, (domestic) cats, cows, geese, hamsters: these are mansuetae naturae.

To be contrasted with animals ferae naturae.
