I loved reading this! I have a few recommendations that I think might be helpful to consider in contrast with the Wiki article as a whole: Adding information about the Libyan jird’ s feeding habits would promote more comprehensive understanding about how they benefit from altered circadian rhythms/body temperatures. I think elaborating more into why it is crucial to their survival and how these adaptations compare to other desert species would be beneficial to the clarity of your text. Reading throughout the Wikipedia article I saw some details about their reproduction/mating strategies and if that’s also a contributing factor I think it would be key to note. Also specifying which 2 species of jird you’re comparing would be helpful as well. Overall I thought your take on this was simple, neutral, and straightforward. I think this species is quite interesting as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graisonb (talk • contribs) 04:19, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
