Study on Common Raven’s diet is conducted in two regions in Algeria, region of Djelfa in the middle part of Algerian Highlands and region of Laghouat occupying a large part of Northern Algerian Sahara. Analysis of Corvus corax’s regurgitation allowed us to count 2.726 individual-preys spread into 7 classes, 89 families, 26 orders and 232 preys-species. In term of F insects are the most ingested by Corvus corax. Rate of this class is of 81.1 % at level of El Guelta to reach 95.6 % in station of Sidi Mekhlouf. In term of biomass, Meriones shawii is the species the most profitable in weight in station of Sidi Mekhlouf (44.4 %), of Rocher des Pigeons (Pigeons Rock) (35.6 %) and even in station of El Guelta (14.3 %). However, in station of Dayet Zoujten, the highest biomass is presented by Gallus domesticus (42.1). This same observation is noted for species Gallus sp. (B % = 42.0 %) at level of El Mesrane.
