How animals rely on each other to survive.
The Crocodile and the Egyptian plover bird
The Symbiotic Relationship Between
Crocodiles and Egyptian Plovers A symbiotic relationship is when two animals need
each other to survive.
A crocodile needs a Egyptian plover to clean it’s teeth and the plover needs to eat the stuff in the crocodiles teeth to live.
That’s only one example of a symbiotic relationship. There are probably millions of symbiotic relationships in the world.
A croc and Plover conversation
Crocodile: Hey! Plover! Why do you always have to climb into my mouth and peck my teeth?
Plover: If didn’t do that I would have nothing to eat.
Crocodile: So why don’t you get your grub from some other crocodile?
Plover: You shouldn’t be so mean! If it wasn’t for me your teeth would be rotten and moldy!
Crocodile: OK, I’ll try not to be so mean next time.
Plover: Thank you.
