It is shorter in reptiles, they actually don't even have a loop of Henle. It is because when they evolved onto land, they needed to develop strategies to conserve water. The purpose of the loop of henle in mammals and other animals is to wash out the solutes out of our bodies, but reptiles need to conserve that water, so instead they have salt glands near the eyes and nose to secrete it. It also explains why they excrete uric acid rather than urea.
