Solution

Yes, symbiotic relationship occurs between animals.

For e.g. the relationship that exists between the wading bird named plover and the crocodile. The crocodile lies with its mouth open. The plover goes into the mouth of the crocodile and feeds on bits of decaying meat stuck in the crocodile’s teeth. The crocodile does not eat the plover bird. Instead, the crocodile is happy that its teeth are getting cleaned. The plover eats a let over from the crocodile’s teeth and the crocodile gets his teeth cleaned. So in this relationship both the partners are mutually benefited.
