The secret of the gull's ability to survive drinking salt water lies in a pair of glands in the head, but their function was not eluciadated until a few years ago. Each gland consists of thousands of minute tubes arranged like the bristles on a bottle brush. Where the handle of the brush would be is a central tube communicating with the nasal cavity. A rich supply of fine blood vessels surrounds the gland, which extracts the salt from the blood.
