Cape Buffalo with Red-billed ox-pecker
A Red-billed Ox-pecker (buphagus erythrorhynchus) sitting on the face of a Cape Buffalo (Syncerus caffer). The red-billed ox-pecker and the buffalo have a symbiotic relationship. The bird gains food by eating ticks from the buffalo's skin, while the buffalo gets cleaned of parasites. Photographed in Zimanga private game reserve, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.
