Organisms: Barnacle/whale Human/Tapeworm Honey guide bird/badger Remora/Shark Ostrich/gazelle Bee/marabou stork Cowbird/song birds Oxpecker/rhinoceros Silverfish/army ants Hermit crab/snail shells Mouse/flea Yucca plant/yucca moth Type of symbiotic relationship Description of symbiotic relationship involved between orgs Barnacles create home sites by attaching themselves to whales. This neither harms nor benefits the whales. The tapeworm attaches itself to a human's intestines, extracting nutrients as they pass through the digestive system. The human is not able to absorb the necessary nutrients for survival. Honey guide birds alert and direct badgers to bee hives that contain honey. The badger then expose the hives and feed on the honey first. Then the honey guide bird eats. Remora's attach themselves to a shark's body. They then travel with the shark and feed on the left-over food scraps from the shark's meal. There is also the possibility that the remora's help keep the shark's skin healthy. Ostriches and gazelles feed next to each other. They both watch for predators and alert each other to danger. Since the visual abilities of the two species are different, they can each identify animals the other might not see. The stork uses its saw-like bill to cut up the dead animals it eats. As a result, the dead animal carcass is accessible to some bees for food and egg laying. Female cowbirds lay eggs in the nests of various songbirds. Either the mother cowbird or the cowbird hatchling will force the songbird eggs/hatchlings out of the nest. Oxpeckers feed on the ticks found on a rhino. Silverfish live and hunt with army ants. They share the prey. Hermit crabs live in shells made by and then abandoned by snails. A flea feeds on the blood of the mouse. Yucca flowers are pollinated by the yucca moths. The moths lay their eggs in the flowers where the larvae hatch and eat some of the developing seeds.
