Detailed explanation-1: -Ureotelism is a type of excretion where urea is the main nitrogenous waste material. Animals showing ureotelism are called ureotelic animals. They include many terrestrial amphibians, marine fishes and mammals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ureotelic animals excrete out their nitrogenous waste in the form of urea. Most terrestrial animals are ureotelic, converting ammonium ions formed during the breakdown of amino acids into urea.
