Sumario:The Holocene representations are among last testimonies of the presence of wild and domestic mammals of the Atlas massifs (Tellian and Saharan) and of the central Sahara. On the rock walls of the same places or on the ancient mosaics of the first Afro-Roman cities, carnivores can be found nearby or associated with herds of wild or domestic animals, cheep, cattle, dogs and figures. On these territories, we owe to the recurrent Holocene movements, the intense presence of herds of wild and domestic animals, associated with the numerous com-munities of hunters/ agro-pastoralists, and later to the conquerors who built modern cities.
