Hippopotomology (HIPPOS) with Rebecca Lewison

2535.197 - 2556.93 Dr. Rebecca Lewison

The one best friend I can think of is a really cool mutualistic relationships between hippos and oxpeckers. So if you see hippos that are out of the water or just partially submerged, you'll often see a particular type of bird that sits on them. It's called an oxpecker that actually eats like ticks and other insects. So the bird gets free lunch and the hippo gets cleaned.
