Masai Mara
Yellow-billed oxpeckers (Buphagus africanus) hang on the neck of a Masai giraffe (Giraffa tippelskirchi) as it walks along a creek bank in Kenyaâs the Masai Mara Triangle.
The yellow-billed oxpeckers hang out on animals like the giraffes feeding off of ticks and other parasites on the animal. In some ways this a symbiotic relationship, keeping their host clean. The oxpecker is itself a parasite, drinking the blood from the sores of itâs host animal which can make wounds slow to heal.
