Introduction:

When two creatures of different species "operate together," they are said to be in a mutualistic relationship because they both gain from it. An illustration of a mutualistic connection is the one between an animal called an oxpecker and a rhinoceros or zebra. Ticks and other skin-living parasites are eaten by oxpeckers when they settle on rhinos or zebras. The oxpeckers are fed, and the animals are protected from pests.
