Egrets and Buffalos

   Right around the world, egrets can be observed following cattle. At one point, these animals were thought to have a symbiotic relationship but this is commensalism, since the buffalo aren't benefitting or being harmed. 




Cattle egrets in Africa are quite comfortable with their water buffalo and they eat the insects that their buffalo stir up while they move from place to place. The water buffalo don't seem to mind the company.
