Question

Have you seen any animal riding on another animal? Write its name.

• The animal which is riding.

• The animal which gives the ride.

Answer 1

An oxpecker (tickbird) sits on a zebra. Thus, the animal which is riding is the oxpecker and that which gives the ride is the zebra.

It is a kind of mutual benefit for both of them. The oxpecker eats the ticks and parasites present on the skin of the zebra. In this way, the oxpecker get its food and the zebra gets rid of pests.
