Well, I don't mean all kind of wild animals, but those ones who are either the biggest ones or the beautiful ones.
This area consist mainly in gentle rolling hills plus some mountains with a pretty huge pine forest as well, so the biggest one I've ever seen is roe der, but also iberian imperial agle, wild board, white stork, black stork or griffon vulture.
There are some others smaller ones who are beautiful as well, such as eurasian eagle-owl, common cuckoo, hoopoe, european robin, red squirrel, red fox or european hedgehog.
There are few others who are pretty hard to see as either they are threatened or avoid humans too much, so I've never seen them but still can be found in this area, like iberian wolf, european badger, european otter, pyrenean desman, wild cat or spanish imperial eagle.
What about your area?

I live in the midst of Italy's second largest plain . Several hares and foxes can be found in the countryside but aside from that there's very little as most of the woods which were charateristic of the area have been cut to make space for more cultivable land (this happened especially between 1922 and 1943).
This how the plain looks from the Southwestern end:
There's an exception to the rule and that's the Incoranata Wood (30 kms north of where i live):
This wood is large enough to also have squirrels, boar, roes and deers. The number of volatiles who visit the coastal marshes and salt flats probably outnumbers the number of wild mammals
At least I know now what wild animals live in Kronotsky reserve somewhere on Kamchatka)))
I was watching this yesterday in amusement ( bears in particular) since someone placed the "bench" there)))
In Belarus there are many forests, where hares, wolves, foxes, bears, boars, elks are supposed to live.
I've personally seen a big elk crossing the highway about 5 km from Minsk. There were also reports of wild elks seen within the city limits. Once one of them entered some supermarket and started walking between the stalls -- I guess that looked very funny.
Hares, foxes, deer, elk, hedgehogs, pheasants, eagle-owls, squirrels, rats, pidgeons, vipers, raccoon dogs, weasel, pine marten, canada goose, swans and so on. Sometimes a wolf or two might wander nearby, but they are very rare.
