Examples of Mutualism Relationships
The animals get in to alliances for certain benefits. The best example for such relationships between animals, can be of Egyptian plover and the crocodile. In the tropical African jungles, the crocodile lies keeping its mouth open. The plover flies in to the mouth of the crocodile and eats the decaying meat stuck in its teeth. The crocodile does not eat the plover, but appreciates the free dental care. This way, both of them are benefited from each other. Another example of mutualism relationship between animals can be of the clownfish and Ritteri sea anemones. The clownfish resides in the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone, which are otherwise very harmful. The sea anemone gets nutrition from the fecal matter of the clownfish and clownfish gets protection from its predators due to stingy tentacles.
Given below are some more examples of the relationships in various extreme environment conditions, where two species come together and help each other so that they can survive in tough conditions.
In The Desert: In the deserts of Taru in Kenya, mongoose and horn bill birds share a great mutualism relationship. In the desert, there are no trees so the birds are half of the time on the ground and have to look for the food on the ground itself. For resting and sleeping purposes also, birds need the safe ground area. Both the Mongoose and horn bills are exposed to high predator pressures. So, when the mongooses are sleeping or hunting for food, the birds guard them and vice versa. They make certain noises when they see any threatening reptiles and alert the other party. Together they form foraging communities and protect each other.
In the Tropical Rainforest: In the tropical rain forest regions, many species of ants live underground, as they cannot live on the ground due to heavy rains. It is also very difficult for them to search for the food in such tough conditions. So, they cut the plant leaves nearby and get it in the shelter. They cannot digest the plant matter but they bring it to cultivate the fungus on it. The ants survive on the nutrients provided by the fungus and in turn the fungus is fed on the plant matter and is also actively protected by ant community. This way, both of them help each other survive for longer.
