Head-body 150-200 mm, tail 160-180 mm, ear 19-23 mm, hindfoot 39-42 mm; weight 160-250 g. The Moroccan Jird is a large member of genus, very similar to Shaw’s Jird (M. shaw) but larger in size and displaying smaller molar rows and broader skull. It has shady-brown dorsum and white venter. Tail is nearly same length as head-body length (96% of head—body length) and has small pencil of brown hairs at end. Soles of hindfeet are partially hairy. Tympanic bullae are smaller than those of Shaw’s Jird. Females bear eight pairs of mammae.

Recent discoveries showed that the Moroccan Jird occurs in various types of environment, from cultivated fields of Atlantic plains and hills to Atlas Mountains at up to 2800 m, as well as insteppic and semiarid environments.

In the Marrakesh region and in central Morocco, many pregnant and lactating females were recovered in April. Females bore 5-10 embryos.
