marsh


Explanation:

"bulaos" is not a common word; usually means "path/trail", but there's another meaning "mire/marsh" which based on context given the example sentence makes me think it is the latter: "mire/marsh".

Mga bulaos ng maiilap na hayop. ("Marshes which will have wild animals.")

Actually more context is needed.

Explanation:
Mga bulaos ng maiilap na hayop. ("Marshes which will have wild animals.")

Bulaos here functions as collective term just as school functions in "a school of fish". Maiilap na hayop = sneaky animals.

However, school in "school of fish" has a neutral connotation but bulaos here seems to radiate negativity. For me, bulaos means a wild group [of].
