I doubt it.

Another AnswerIt is possible for the warthog to kill the lion if it had its sharp, short tusks gore the lion to death. The warthog is also quite dangerous and aggressive enough that a leopard or a pack of hyenas would even avoid. They charge around and gore anything that get its way, even a lion.

What is the symbiotic relationship between an oxpecker and a warthog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Ecologist's Best Guess: Ostriches eat grass, and warthogs eat insects and the roots of grassland plants. When foraging, warthogs (like barnyard pigs) churn up the soil and make plants more accessible to the ostriches. In turn, the ostrich can see a long way off and the warthog has very bad vision. Probably the ostrich watches for predators and alerts the warthog if they are near so that both animals may escape. This relationship is an example of mutualism, a kind of symbiosis (interaction of different species) in which both organisms benefit from the relationship.
