I just love nature.

A funny thing relationships. Take the Cattle Egrets' relationship with livestock.  The Egret follows the passage of cattle, eating the grasshoppers and other insects that are thrown up by their hooves, or the Egret will pluck flies or ticks directly from their bodies whilst the host animal looks passively on.  This habit benefits both species and the Egret has migrated to other large grazing animals and can be seen in large numbers around grazing herds.
