This study included two parts; the first part is a field study to identify the species of wild mammals in the western part of the Jafara plain and to determine its geographical distribution. The second part of this study included analyzing data of average annual rainfall and average annual temperatures, using the regression equation and the quintile equation for eight urban areas within the region during thirty years, from 1977 to 2006 due to the availability of temperature and precipitation data in this period. The results showed that there are nineteen species of wild mammals in this region belonging to ten families of six orders. The most recorded species belong to the order of rodents (47%) followed by the order of carnivores (26%), then insectivores (10%).
