In this video, the oxpecker is eating ticks and other parasites on the impala. • Oxpeckers, often found on impalas and other large mammals, engage in a behavior that looks like grooming. They feed on ectoparasites like ticks, fleas, and lice that live on the skin of these animals. This relationship is generally considered mutualistic, where both species benefit: the oxpecker gets a food source, and the impala gets rid of parasites that can cause harm or discomfort. • Location: Kruger national park, South Africa • #oxpecker #symbioticrelationship #impala #wildlife #animals #wildanimals #krugernationalpark #africananimals
