Yes they do
The series of gathered pouches in the large intestine is called "haustra". These haustra give the large intestine its distinctive appearance and help in the absorption of water and electrolytes from the remaining digested food.
The haustra are formed by the taenia coli running along the colon. Because the taenia coli is shorter, pouches (haustra) form . These each move about every 25 minutes and so move the food from one to the next. The filling of these causes them to contact.
The folds of the large intestinal mucosa are called colonic haustra. These haustra are pouch-like structures that form due to the muscular contractions of the colon. They help to increase the surface area for absorption of water and electrolytes in the large intestine.
