Characteristics of Linen. Linen is a type of fabric made with flax fibers. Flax fibers are more rigid than cottons or silks, endowing linen fabric with a lack of elasticity and its propensity to wrinkle. Linen can be made using a multitude of weaves, which will determine the texture and weight of the fabric.
Seagulls live near the sea because their main food is fish. When bird evolution exploded after the dinosaurs had died out, they quickly (in geological terms) adapted to fill all the ecological niches made available by the previous extinction event and one of those was the sea.
Seabirds are exquisitely adapted to life on the ocean. From Laysan Albatross to Black-capped Petrel and Pink-footed Shearwater, most seabirds spend a large part of their lives over the open water, far from human habitation. As a result, marine birds are among the least understood of all birds. As a group, seabirds are among the most endangered birds in the world. For example, 15 of 22 species of albatross are threatened with extinction. These remarkable birds deserve our every effort to conserve them. Many seabirds, like Laysan Albatross, mate for life and live 60 years or more.
