EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a wild friendship! These two Yellow-billed Oxpeckers have found the perfect perch on their trusty Common Zebra companion in the stunning Masai Mara, Kenya. It's like they've formed their very own avian taxi service, offering feathered rides to zebras across the savannah! With their vibrant yellow beaks and striking black and white feathers, these oxpeckers are not only fashion-forward but also incredibly helpful. Known as nature's personal groomers, they fearlessly hop aboard various African mammals to feast on ticks and other pesky parasites that bother their four-legged friends. In this print captured by FLPA/Martin B Withers, we witness a true symbiotic relationship between these adult oxpeckers and the zebra. The birds get a tasty meal while providing an essential cleaning service for the zebra's coat – it’s a win-win situation! The picturesque backdrop of Masai Mara adds an extra touch of magic to this already enchanting scene. The vast plains stretch out behind them, showcasing Africa's breathtaking beauty at its finest. So why not bring some wildlife wonder into your home with this delightful photo print? Hang it up as a reminder that even in nature, unexpected friendships can blossom – all while keeping each other looking fabulous!
