subject date: 2004-10-15

caption: NILE CROCODILE (Crocodylus niloticus) and Egyptian plover (Pluvianus aegyptius); according to an ancient tradition, the two animals share a relationship of mutualism, in which the bird feeds on the food residues left in the jaws and on the parasites that infest the large reptile, bringing it relief. Color illustrated plate by Wilhelm Kuhnert (1865-1926) from the work "Life of Animals" by the German biologist and naturalist Alfred Edmund Brehm (1829-1884), edition of 1893.
