To understand how this small desert rodent manages such challenges, we examined the structural and functional modifications of the hindgut in eight adult male individuals collected from Aljouf desert in northern Saudi Arabia. The digestive tract was about 62.7\u2009cm long, nearly five times the jerboa's body length with the small intestine making up the greatest share (55.9%). The large intestine was characterized by a sacculated cecum serving as a fermentation chamber. Histologically, the small intestine exhibited finger\u2010like villi with varying heights depending on the region, lined by simple columnar ciliated epithelium, interspersed with numerous goblet cells. Interestingly, the duodenum lacked Brunner's glands, which typically exist in many other mammals. The cecum had short mucosal folds, while the colon rectum displayed prominent folds with deep crypts of Lieberk\u00fchn, features well suited for breaking down cellulose and supporting microbial fermentation. Histochemical examination revealed the predominance of acidic mucopolysaccharides, likely helping to retain water, lubricate the gut lining, and support a healthy microbial environment. Together these structural and histochemical traits highlight how the jerboa's hindgut is finely tuned to extract maximum nutrients and conserve water, key adaptations that allow this amazing animal to survive and flourish in the extreme conditions of the desert habitat.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jez.70143","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,22]],"date-time":"2026-10-22T06:05:38Z","timestamp":1792649138000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Macroscopic and Microscopic Organization of the Intestine in the Arabian Jerboa (\n                    <i>Jaculus loftusi<\/i>\n                    ): Adaptive Significance for Desert Survival"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8646-9253","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diaa","family":"Massoud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biology Department, College of Science Jouf University Sakaka Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zahrah R.","family":"Alrayes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biology Department, College of Science Jouf University Sakaka Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah N.
