Detailed Solution

The kangaroo rat in North American deserts has long loops of Henle to produce concentrated urine so that minimal volume of water is used to remove excretory products. It is capable of meeting all its water requirements through its internal fat oxidation (in which water is a byproduct). It is mostly nocturnal (active during the night).
