Detailed explanation-1: -While the cow is searching for grass in the areas for their meal, birds are following them to eat insects that are surrounding the cows. This way, cows are having their share of meals and birds are having theirs. This is mutualism, harmless and eco-friendly. Many of the natural organisms benefit from this.
Detailed explanation-2: -A mutualistic relationship is when two organisms of different species “work together, ” each benefiting from the relationship. One example of a mutualistic relationship is that of the oxpecker (a kind of bird) and the rhinoceros or zebra.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mutualism is defined as an interaction between individuals of different species that results in positive (beneficial) effects on per capita reproduction and/or survival of the interacting populations.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mutualism-a symbiotic relationship in which both organisms benefit. Commensalism-a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
