Description
This is an example of mutualism, a symbiotic relationship, between the Impala and the Red Billed Oxpecker. The Oxpecker picks ticks and other parasites off the Impala, thus contributing towards the Impala's health, whilst the Oxpecker benefits from the nutritional value of the parasites. In the photograph the Oxpecker is inspecting the ear of the Impala for ticks, and appears to be talkiing into it.
