DAY 292: THE OXPECKER & THE GIRAFFE

The title sounds like the beginning of a poem, but its not!

These little oxpeckers are actually doing the giraffe a service, cleaning him up
from lice and all sorts of other goggas that like to live on the neck of a giraffe.
There is, of course, plenty of room for them, evidenced by the number of oxpeckers having lunch!

However, it is a mutual thing between these species of God's fascinating creatures - the giraffe is a walking take-away shop for the oxpeckers, as this is the food upon which they thrive.
