Question

The egrets always forage close to where the cattle are grazing. What is this interaction? Explain.

Answer 1

The egrets are present very close to the grazing cattle. This is a type of interaction called as commensalism. This is a type of interaction in which one of the partners is benefitted while the other partner is unharmed or remain neutral. The egrets feed on the small insects which are present in the grass. The cattle while grazing cause the insects to come out of the grass and the egrets can feed on these insects.
