This Buffalo cow enjoyed her “tick cleaning treatment” given by the Red-billed Oxpeckers. The small birds live in a symbiotic relationship with the large ruminants. The Buffalo provide the ticks and the Oxpeckers the relief.

What great relief!
Thanks,

Awesome to see nature at work. What brings relief to one also brings a full belly for the other.
