The African rhinoceros is fierce, can fight back the king of the steppe lion, and sometimes even the first giant beast on land, the elephant, will let it score three points, but in the face of a bird, it is very docile, this bird is the hornbill bird!
When the African rhinoceros is resting, the rhino bird will fall on the rhinoceros, the rhino is welcome to the arrival of this bird, and will not attack the hornbill bird, because the hornbill bird is to help the rhino remove its parasites and blood-sucking mosquitoes!
Rhinos have no other way to prevent these parasites parasitizing between the folds of the skin except to cover the whole body with mud, but the sharp beak of the rhinoceros bird can catch these parasites, make the rhinos comfortable, and reduce the blood-sucking harmful behavior of the parasites!
But the sharp pecking of the rhino bird can sometimes hurt the wounds of the rhinoceros, occasionally pull a piece of meat or two, and even eat some rhinoceros, but it is nothing for rhinos weighing several tons, rhinos and hornbill birds are the same as toothpick birds eating the residue of crocodile teeth, is a symbiotic relationship!
Some are worried that the eating of the rhinoceros bird will change: I eat parasites, one day I accidentally pulled a piece of rhinoceros beef, if I eat more and more fragrant, will I not care about the insects in the future, eat the rhinoceros beef exclusively, the rhinoceros bird will show off: you may not believe it, I just ate a rhinoceros; in that case, the rhinoceros will inevitably expel the rhino bird.
Rhino birds do help rhinos eat parasites and warnings on their bodies, mainly by eating parasites, but sometimes it is inevitable to eat rhino beef, but they are still good friends and symbiotic relationships!
Pay attention to the six dimensions of nature And let nature know nature!
