A preliminary study on the behaviour of the dromedary (Camelus dromedarius)‎ in the mid-western region of Saudi Arabia

الملخص EN

The behaviours of camels were studied under partially guarded and unguarded conditions and when allowed to roam freely.

None of the male or female camels in the present study showed many significant changes in their behavioural patterns as a result of variations in husbandry.

Indeed, the only significant changes were increases in time allocated to non-social investigation and time allocated to threat behaviour between male and female camels in the partly guarded condition.
