Cow

Bos sp.

Description:

This pictures shows how the insects on a mammal can be food for birds. The Black Drongo, Dicrurus macrocercus and the Cattle Egret, Bubulcus ibis not only feast on the insects that may be present ON the cow but also find easy prey as insects scatter when the large mammals'movements disturb them. Win-win.

Sukanya, it doesn't matter how many spottings you have that fit the mission: every single contribution is precious. It's up to you in the end :-)

DanielePralong, THANKs for the suggestion. It is just that I donot have too many photos of symbiotic relationships... maybe just 1 or two. Hesitant to join a mission and not be able to contribute much....
