Parasitism is a non mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other. This would be the tick drinking the elephant's blood.
Parasitism is a type of symbolic relationship in the Tropical Savanna. An example of parasitism is between the tick and the African elephant. The tick is the parasite which feeds off the African elephant. The elephant does not benefit from this relationship because it is exposed to diseases and loses blood to the tick. The tick benefits because it gains blood which is its food.
Parasitism in a biome of such is quite similar to other biomes as well. It involves a parasite such as a tick or other bloodsucker in the ecosystem. This parasite could be feasting off of the animals like a African Elephant, lion, or characal in order to survive.
A tick feeding off of a bison, or any meaty animal would be parasitism.
The Tick feeds off of the deers blood. The deer is not killed so the relationship is parasitism.
It is parasitism.
The kind of symbiosis, parasitism is the relationship between two or more organisms of different species that live together in a close nutritional relationship. One organism is the host which is the site or area that the other organism lives off of for their own benefit. Therefore, parasitism is a relationship in which one is benefitted and the other is taken advantaged of at expense. Therefore, an elephant is the host and the ticks are the parasites benefitted.

An example of a parasitic relationship would be like a tick sucking the blood off an animal, the animal does not benefit from the tick being there but in fact loses something (blood) while the tick benefits (food supply).
parasitism or commensalism parasitism - when one organism benefits off the other and the other is harmed commensalism - when one benefits off the other, but neither organisms are harmed
I don't know if there is a thing called a "tick bird" or not, but the bird that rides on a rhino, and eats parasites off of it's hide, is a part of a symbiotic relationship for sure: The bird gets food. The rhino loses annoying parasites. Both animals are in symbiosis. (mutually benefiting) The bird eats the ticks off the rhino's back and warns the rhino of any danger (mutualism). The bird also eats the blood from sores on the rhino's skin and it prevents them from healing (parasitism).
Parasites are living organisms that live and feed on an organism's or host's body. They jump from one host to the other damaging the body as they go along the most common carriers like mosquitoes and tick which are never harmed by these parasites.
