Is the salt gland in the albatross the same as their sweat glands?
Only mammals have sweat glands, so the albatross doesn't have them. Its salt gland helps it to get rid of the heavy concentrations of salt it ingests with its food and by drinking ocean water. This is a much greater concentration of salt than what mammals handle via sweating, and of course, sweating's primary function is not to rid the body of salt, but rather to cool it, to produce scent, to protect the skin and hair, etc. Mammary glands are even a modified type of sweat gland.
