Animals, which are able to excrete the highly toxic ammonia as it is, are known as ammonotelic animals (examples- protozoans, crustaceans, platyhelminthes, cnidarians, poriferans, echinoderms, fishes, larvae).
Ureotelism --- involves excretion of nitrogenous waste as urea (examples - man, whales, seals, desert mammals like kangaroo rats, camels, toads, frogs, cartilaginous fishes, aquatic and semi-aquatic reptiles like alligator, terrapins and turtles).
Uricotelism --- involves excretion of nitrogenous waste as uric acid (examples - birds, land reptiles, insects, land snails and some land crustaceans).
Aminotelism --- involves excretion of amino acids directly, without break down into waste products. (examples - molluscs, echinoderms)
Guanotelism --- involves excretion of the purine, guanine as the nitrogenous waste (examples - spiders).
