Symbiosis between zebra and oxpecker
Have you seen a bird perched on a zebra and wondered why the zebra is carrying it around?
The oxpecker hitches a ride from the zebra. In return, the oxpecker picks ticks and other insects from the zebra's body. The zebra benefits from this partnership as it manages to get rid of blood-sucking insects from its body. The oxpecker benefits from this partnership as it gets its food.
