Is the pentax k 3 mark iii good for wildlife?

Yes, the K-3 Mark III is a good body for wildlife. Its 1.5x crop factor gives every telephoto extra reach, and the stabilisation is in the body, so it works with any lens you fit. The lens matters most for wildlife and sport, so I'd start with these:

• Pentax HD D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 ED DC AW: like 225-675mm on full frame, for distant birds and animals.
• [Pentax smc DA* 60-250mm f/4 ED [IF] SDM](/gear/lenses/pentax-smc-da-60-250mm-f-4-ed-if-sdm/): like 90-375mm, a shorter zoom for closer subjects.
• [Pentax smc DA* 300mm f/4 ED [IF] SDM](/gear/lenses/pentax-smc-da-300mm-f-4-ed-if-sdm/): like 450mm, a fixed lens for sharp, steady reach.

Long lenses are expensive new, so buying used is an easy way to try one.
