The present study aims to describe the histological structure of kidney of, (Herpestes javanicus ) that
inhabits Iraqi lands. Transverse sections of kidney stained with hematoxylin and eosin showed two distinct
regions, the outer thin darkly stained cortex and inner thick lightly stained medulla, which further subdivided
into external and internal medullary zones linked with one conical renal papilla. The lateral margin of the outer
medullary tissue forms a secondary renal pyramid with a specialized fornix. All the nephrons in the kidney start
