The most common wild animals found in the more remote parts of Andalucia are outlined below.

Doe Deer / Corzo.

Muflon (Ovis musimon),
A species that has been introduced, it is the ancestor of our domestic sheep and another acorn-loving creature of the sierra. In the autumn the males fight it out with their large horns to determine who will father the next generation.
