  • Camel and frog

  • Lizard and crow

C.

Lizard and crow

Uricotelic animals are those animals which excrete uric acid as their excretory product, for e.g. lizard and crow. They conserve water in their bodies and synthesize crystals of uric acids from ammonia. These crystals can be retained in the body (in solid form) for a longer time before being discharged from the body.
