Abstract : Camel behaviour including feeding (grazing) behaviour, movement (walking) and other behavioural aspects have been studied for one year in order to determine motivations for wild animals to come close to highways and then suggest the appropriate countermeasures. The present study showed that, there is a significant difference in movement and other behaviours, when male and female camels were compare to each other, however, female camels showed greater feeding behaviour than males. The present study included camel density over 14 sections of highways in the western region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from Jizan in the south until Alwajah north. The highest camel density among all sections was reported in Jizan-Aldarb section. Grazing zones, where unguarded wild animals were studied came in the second level in accidents occurring in Jeddah- Rabegh section, just after following residential zones. The components of the surrounding of these roads were described which play important roles in the existence of these wild animals. The present study showed that, there is a clear effect of wolf fecal deposits on the camel’s movement behaviour and other animals such as dogs. The present study suggested some recommendations, highlighted a strategy for dealing with unguarded wildlife based upon their behavioural and biological nature to prevent losses in humans and properties caused by the involvement of wild animals in traffic accidents.
