The nephrons in desert mammal Camel are equipped with well developed Henle's loop and number of juxtamedullary nephrons in kidneys is very high, about 35% (in man this number is about 15%).
Explanation:
Desert mammals do not readily find water, hence they must excrete very less amount of water. They are able to produce highly concentrated urine.

Answer:
Desert mammals do not readily find water, hence they must excrete very less amount of water. They are able to produce highly concentrated urine. From the accompanying diagram you would be able to see that the Henle's loop of juxtamedullary ( =adjacent to medulla of kidney) nephron goes deep down into the medulla.
