Solution

Seagull:

  1. A seagull is a seabird that is uniform in shape, has heavy body, long wings and a moderately long neck.
  2. When a seagulls drink salt water, a pair of glands above their eyes removes all the salt from their body.
  3. Once the salt is removed, it leaves their body through the nostrils.
  4. This is suitable for them as it enables them to fly way out in the sea to look for food for a long period of time.
