(Larus atricilla)
The laughing gull prefers beaches for a nesting area. Their Domain is Eukarya, their Kingdom is Anamalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Aves, Order Charadriiformes, Family is Laridae, Genus is Larus, and the Species is Larus atricilla. They have bilateral symmetry. One structural adaptation is countershading. This helps them by not being eaten by a shark or anything in the ocean. Another structural adaptation is their hollow bones that help them fly. One more adaptation is their calls. this helps them communicate and know what happened to others in the flock. Its also very annoying ;)
