The long loop of henle is for animals in places short of a water supply, like camels, this is because the longer the loop of henle the further down in descends into the medullary tissues, so more ions like sodium and calcium pass out, lowering the water potential in these tissues, the fluid moves on into DCT, (distal convoluted tubule) and then into the collecting duct, because the loop of henle was so long the collecting duct travels down further and therefore releases more back into the blood, because the surrounding tissues have a low water potential, so animals like camels save alot more water, whereas beavers do not need to retain as much water so have a small loop of henle as they are surrounded by water.
