Can Mars work as a wildlife sanctuary for animals?

Suppose humanity manages to terraform Mars: we give it a magnetic field, an atmosphere, then Mars gains oceans, lakes and rivers and we plant forests there.

So now Mars looks like another Earth and people have already colonized it. I was wondering though, after we colonize Mars we would bring animals over there.

I already know that we would have to bring insects, like bees, to pollinate plants, but what I'm referring to is wildlife: like lions, deers, sharks, whales etc. Suppose we have a way to get animals there with ease, I am wondering if there is an interest to bring the biodiversity of Earth to Mars as well, and truly make Mars a second Earth.

Is there anything that prevents Mars to be used as a wildlife habitat for higher order species that originally evolved on Earth?
