Mutualism

Mutualism 

Mutualism is a type of Symbiosis. It is when two organisms benefit from each other and neither are harmed during the process. 

• Examples: When an Egyptian plover feeds on the inside of an Crocodiles mouth (mainly in between the teeth), both of the organisms are gaining something. The croc is getting it's mouth cleaned while the plover is getting a meal. 

The use of Mutualism can be used in the world of biology and zoology. If you're trying to figure out how different animals interact with each other then you would find out that Mutualism is a type of relationship. There are some surprising relationships between animals as you learn more about Mutualism such as the Crocodile and the Egyptian plover also there is an example of a cowbird eating ticks off of a Rhino. This can be seen everyday and can Mutualism happen between all organisms if exotic or not.
