Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism


Types of Symbiotic Relationships:
1. Commensalism
2. Mutualism
3. Parasitism

What is Mutualism?
- A relationship in which both animal and plant benefit.

Examples of Mutualism:
- Oxpeckers land on rhinos or zebras and eat other parasites that live on their skin.
-Ants and Aphids: Aphids suck sugar from the plants and the ants eat the leftovers and the ants protect the Aphids during the night.
-Ostrich and Zebra, they help each other see, eat and smell.

    Can more than two animals be involved in the relationship? Or can it only be between two organisms?
