Answer
Animals move fast so for the majority of time you would need to "freeze" the movement. That takes you to middle ranged cameras which work in Priority to Speed Mode.However, many of this cameras do not have interchangeable lens which you definitely will need in order to zoom in from a distance without scaring the animal. Then, all that takes you to a DSLR. Sorry to tell you, but to do photos like a pro you need some expensive stuff.
My set up would be ( when I recommend this I am trying to give the less expensive options)
Nikon DSLR body DX (according to your budget if you have a deep pocket you can go for FX) If you choose DX you have to be careful to buy DX lenses, the same if you go FX you should buy FX lenses. The body is the less important, probably it will be obsolete in a couple of years so focus in the optics
Nikkor 18-200 mm DX VR ( this is suitable for all kinds of photography)
and if you really want to go the extra mile: look for a combination till 300 mm or probably a Macro if interested in small animals or details.
I said Nikon because is the brand I use but Canon is OK. I wouldn't enter that controversy because someone said that if you wanted advise about whether to buy a Nikon or Canon you should ask the owner of a Leica..hahaha

What is everything i need to begin wildlife photography?
John
I want to buy a Dslr Camera and have been researching photography for weeks now. Everything is so expensive even some tripods are more expensive than cameras ? That's Crazy ! My budget is $2200 For everything. Camera, lens, tripod, filters, etc.
Cool Story Bro. go back to tumblr you troll -_-
THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS EVERYTHING I WILL NEED. WHAT DSLR IS RECOMMENDED OR LENS AND WHAT NOT.
Answer
Okay, you have the right camera picked out, a dSLR
Now we have to outfit you with some lenses for shooting wildlife.
The two camera companies with the best array of lenses are the Nikon and Canon companies
At a minimum you will need something like a 18-200 mm lens to shoot wildlife that have a small "scare radius" and that you can find during the middle of the day in full sun. There are a couple of other possibilities, the 55-300 mm or 70-300 mm lens. All of these lenses have an aperture of f/5.6 when at their longest focal lengths These three lenses are perhaps the most economical of the long zoom lenses
When shooting wildlife at dawn or dusk, you will need a much faster lens and/or a dSLR which has excellent sensor performance at high ISO settings.
List of lenses I used when shooting wildlife:
* 300 mm f/2.8
* 400 mm f/2.8
* 200-400 mm f/4
* 600 mm f/4
If you use a dSLR with a cropped sensor, the above lenses will give you a 1.5x extra reach.
You can run the numbers, but what is going to kill your budget is the cost of the long, prime lenses.
Happily, the same lenses are also the ones used when shooting sports, so they have some extra value.

Don't forget a nice sturdy tripod and maybe a spotting scope. Oh and maybe most of all some excellent bug repellent
I used a Nikon D2X with those lenses when I had a call for wildlife images. Now I would use my D3 or D300
