Mammals have the ability to produce concentrated urine.
Counter current is due to the flow of filtrate in two limbs of Henle's Loop in opposite direction.
Henle's loop and vasa recta play a significant role in concentrating the urine.
Flow of fitrate through vasa recta also follow the counter current pattern.
