The honeyguide bird and the ratel (or honey badger) share a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. The honeyguide leads the ratel to beehives by calling and flying ahead, benefiting from the ratel's ability to break open the hives. Once the hive is accessed, the ratel consumes the honey and larvae, while the honeyguide feeds on the leftover wax and honeycomb. This interaction enhances foraging success for both species.
