For animals in Turkey and Iran, I'd guess that your biggest risk would be the usual domesticated animals that strike fear into the hearts of motorcyclists while riding - cows, goats, sheep, dogs, etc. that are known to wander aimlessly into the road and can cause mucho damage when struck. Best avoidance tactic is to stay aware and ride slow through villages and the such.
While camping, probably not too much to fear from wild animals as the population has taken care of most of the edible ones. (Unlike good old B.C. where I ran down a perfectly good deer the other week (with a truck luckily) and a friendly bear tore the door off the shed recently to get at old pile of stuff that must have smelled something like food.)
