Answer

  1. Loop of Henle are very long.

The loop of Henle functions to reabsorb water, therefore, the longer the loop of Henle, the more water that can be reabsorbed. It is especially important for animals in arid environments to preserve as much water as possible and minimise loss through urine and sweating.
