Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -One example of a mutualistic relationship is that of the oxpecker (a kind of bird) and the rhinoceros or zebra. Oxpeckers land on rhinos or zebras and eat ticks and other parasites that live on their skin. The oxpeckers get food and the beasts get pest control.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mutualism occurs when organisms of both species benefit from their association. The relationship between pollinators and plants is a great example of mutualism. In this case, plants get their pollen carried from flower to flower and the animal pollinator (bee, butterfly, beetle, hummingbird, etc.)
Detailed explanation-3: -mutualism because the flower provides the insect with food and the insect pollinates the flower.
