The city where I live is officially a city, but it includes several neighborhoods that would more accurately be classified as suburbs (one of which I live in). (And in reality, the city is a suburb of The City - NYC.)

We have squirrels, raccoons, feral cats, wild turkeys, and worst of all, DEER. I've gotten very good at container gardening, because anything I plant in my garden, they eat. I can spray flowering plants, ferns, etc. but I can't spray the veggies I'm going to eat. I'm often driving at dawn and/or dusk, and let's just say the deer are lucky my car has good brakes and I have good reflexes.

I can't believe I work in Manhattan and I have to contend with deer in my own back yard.
