Some of the most iconic safari moments captured on film or in still pictures are of powerful lions draped in thick honey-gold manes, pouncing on significantly larger prey. In the wilderness, it seems that every second, hunters and the hunted are in a constant chase.
To the human eye, the wilderness can appear to be a chaotic bloodbath, with merciless animals that will not cease to dig their teeth and claws into each other. But these wild animals are more collaborative than one would assume. These symbiotic relationships are vital to their survival. Oxpeckers, buffalo and rhinos are a perfect example.
Complete trust between this bird and the two giants is the foundation of their relationship. The two humongous species sit still as the tiny birds peck some of the sensitive areas of their bodies, like around their eyes.
