Symbiosis

Understand symbiosis — close relationships between different species — including mutualism (both benefit, like clownfish and anemones), commensalism (one benefits without harming the other, like remora fish riding sharks), and parasitism (one benefits at the other's expense, like ticks on deer) — and recognise these relationships in nature

Typical age: 911 years

If your child sees a nature programme showing a small bird picking insects off a buffalo's back, can they explain that both animals benefit from this relationship and name the type of symbiosis?
