Only camel red blood cell is nucleated. Human rbc is without nucleus.
Explanation:
When red blood cell enters blood circulation it looses it's nucleus. All other animals like salamander,snake, ostrich have red blood cells with nucleus. It is adaption in mammals. The rbc nucleus has lost its function. When in blood stream it is unable to divide.
