Sweet Partnership

In Africa, a delicate bird and a tough badger work as partners. Although the two creatures are very different, they both love the food that honeybees provide. The bird, called a honeyguide, eats honeycomb. The badger is called a honey badger. Honey badgers will eat almost anything, but as their name suggests, they especially love honey.

The honeyguide is a good flier and knows how to find bees’ nests, but it is a tiny, dainty bird. It is not strong enough to break into the nests to reach the honeycomb. The honey badger, however, is a fierce, powerful animal. Its long, sharp claws are perfect for breaking open bees’ nests. In addition, it has thick fur and tough skin to protect it from stinging bees.

The two animals cooperate to get what they both want. When the honeyguide is ready for a meal, it looks for a honey badger. The honeyguide hovers around the badger’s head, fanning its tail and calling to get the badger’s attention. The honey badger follows the honeyguide to the bees’ nest. The honeyguide stops every few seconds to wait for the badger. Upon arriving at the bees’ nest, the honey badger breaks it open and eats the honey. The honeyguide waits patiently for its turn. Once the honey badger has satisfied its appetite, the honeyguide eats the honeycomb and bee larvae that remain. The bird and the badger have a sweet partnership!

Nature provides many examples of animals that cooperate with each other. Sometimes these animals join together for protection. Other times, the animals cooperate to obtain food. Here is an unusual example of two animals that do both!

The sea anemone may not look like an animal to some people. That’s because it looks like an underwater flower with tentacles for flower petals. From where it’s attached on rock or coral, the sea anemone waves its tentacles back and forth. These tentacles have stinging cells that can stun and capture small animals, which the sea anemone eats.

These tentacles also give the sea anemone protection. Even so, there are predators that try to feed on sea anemones. Luckily, a small, brightly colored clownfish chases off these attackers.

The clownfish has developed protection from the sea anemone’s tentacles. It is safe among the waving stingers. The clownfish leaves scraps of food for the anemone and cleans its tentacles.

If a predator threatens the clownfish, it will flee to the safety of the sea anemone. If the attacker goes into the anemone’s tentacles to get the clownfish, it will be stung. This means that the clownfish’s predator has become the anemone’s prey!
