  16. The oxpecker is a bird that rides around on the backs of cattle and other large animals such as rhinos

  17. The wasp above has stung and paralyzed a spider.  It will take the spider to a nest and lay an egg on it.  The larvae will consume the still-living spider; often from the inside.

  18. Intestinal bacteria (normal flora) and digestion.

  19. The white-winged dove and the Sagauaro Cactus.  The cactus provides food for the bird in the form of a large fruit.  The bird consumes the fruit, also ingesting the cactus' seeds.  The bird then flies off and later deposits the seeds in a new location.

  20. The Sea Lamprey latches onto a fish and uses the teeth to hold on and rasp away the skin, leaving an open wound for the lamprey to feed on.  It drops off, usually without killing the "host".  

  21. The Hippos rely on the oxpecker bird to rid their bodies of parasites and insects, as do the zebras, giraffes, elephants and rhinos. The oxpecker, for his part, gets an easy meal.

  22. A tick feeding off of “Fido” or “Fluffy”
