Rhinos
Rhinos are like bulldozers. They weigh 3,000 pounds and they charge at 31 miles per hour. Rhino have poor eyesight. Anything that's close, they can see no problem, but anything that is far away, everything seems so blurry. And then there are the oxpeckers. The oxpeckers have a symbiotic relationship with the rhinos which is the oxpecker pecks tics off the rhino and the rhino keeps the oxpecker protected. It also gives them their supply of tics. And the oxpecker makes an alarm so the rhino knows it is in danger.

I learned something new! I had no idea about the symbiotic relationship the rhino had with the oxpecker. Very cool!
