Seagulls
The seagull is considered to be among the most intelligent birds in the world. Some gulls will drop a mollusk shell onto a rock to break it open. Others have been observed baiting fish with bread. One of the most amazing facts is that they can remember new foraging strategies and pass them down to the next generation of gulls.
Unlike most animals, the seagull can drink both freshwater and saltwater. A specialized gland right above the eyes can collect and then flush out the salt right through the nostrils.
Seagulls have a small claw halfway up the lower leg that allows them to roost on high ledges without falling off.
Habitat and more
They are located primarily on the coast and beaches within all of North America but they are also located in parts of Europe and Asia.
Their nesting sites are usually located within ground and cliff sites
Predators
The predators of the seagull are minx, foxes, raccoons, cats, and birds of prey. Since they are located so often on beaches, humans can be considered a predator as well.
