Best Answer
Yes, the Savage Attacks ability will work while Wild Shaped. Wild Shape allows you to use your racial features:
Savage Attacks kicks in when you get a critical hit with a melee weapon attack:
Every beast type creature that I can think of has at least one attack that is a melee weapon attack. For example, the Wolf:
So if you get a critical hit while Wild Shaped into a Wolf, it will deal 5d4 instead of 4d4.
