Focusing on gut morphology, this study examines various mammalian species with different diets, including hedgehogs, fruit bats, mice, rabbits, and dogs. It employs light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy to explore the gastrointestinal mucosa, aiming to elucidate the histological and ultrastructural adaptations that enhance the digestive and absorptive functions of their intestines. The research highlights the relationship between diet and gut structure in these diverse animals.
