Did you know that two animals from different species, or sometimes even the same, can develop special relationships between them? We have proof of this from the wild and domesticated animals of our world. Crabs give anemones a ride on their back across the ocean floor so that they can get food from the hermit crab fare and get sanctuary from starfish and other animals that could pose as an attacker, so in exchange for the ride, the crab gets protection from predators while going to get food. The crab and the Anemone both get a benefit from this relationship which makes them continue to have this deal. Even though they are different species, they work together to survive. Another example of a strange relationship is a giraffe and an ostrich. The giraffe cleans the ostrich and the ostrich provides warmth for the giraffe while they sleep. I think a dog that just had puppies might …show more content…
The passage stated," Lionesses also have strong parental instincts. Not only do they care for their own cubs, but they will take care of each other's cubs as well," This lets me know That the female lions have a functional relationship from caring for each other's offspring, just like a dog mother would do for a litter of kittens. The second passage also shows another way to prove that a dog would take care of kittens by stating," The handler began feeding Torque (dog) and Shrek (owl) in the same room and allowed Torque to sniff the owl and lick his feathers. Within no time the two became devoted companions, watching television and taking walks together." The passage then explains that the dog, Torque, is very protective of Shrek the owl, just like the dog would be protective of the kittens if she raised
...nd cooperating with each other while hunting, but there’s even more, like having mostly monogamous relationships yet still sharing food and providing parental care for everyone (Schleidt/Shalter, 2003), not unlike a Full House-esque blended family. Contrary to popular belief, this is where we get our similar mannerisms, not the other way around; we learned from dogs. Think about that the next time you try to get Fido to roll over or sit.

When Spring rain starts, land crabs know that the signal for mating season. Land crabs mate in underground burrows. Millions of female crabs hurry toward the ocean to drop off their fertilized eggs in the water and return to the swamp. Mullet and other fish eat the little crabs that hatch from the eggs. The baby crabs that survive the first few weeks of their lives, will join the adults in nearby forests. Unfortunately, crossing a road is part of the journey to the ocean. Therefore, many drivers find that their tires have been punctured and many crabs have been run over. The crabmeat is toxic to people, but animals seem to love it. Especially the endangered Cuban crocodile. Cuba's land crab population doesn't seem to be in danger. Officials

In the book, A Lion Called Christian by Anthony Bourke and John Rendall, we see the dynamic between them and Christian as more a friendship then ownership. Their purchase of the lion Christian leads them to see animals in a different light. Through their experiences with him they realize the level of intelligence he has and how he closely resembles a distinct persona and is an intelligent non-human being with which Ace and John have a relationship, rather than Christian simply being their pet. Throughout the novel we see how Christian is presented in this way and find out why this is significant in their lives and also the audience reading the book.

Throughout history we see humans bonding to all species of animals. At first they believe animals were used to hunt alongside their human but now they are mostly for companionship. In H Is for Hawk, by Helen Macdonald, a woman finds her way through the torments of grief by bonding with a Goshawk.
Humans and animals have attributes similar to one another, wide qualities of emotions, moving from one emotion to another. They have a different communication method and understanding, but they have an evolved understanding over time, like developing deaf communities between human and animals, using hand gestures, whistling, and identifying objects. Sadly, scientists are...

The purpose of my Alaskan King Crab essay is to acknowledge readers about the different types of king crabs and their backgrounds. King crabs pop up a lot in out country and everyone should be informed of their personal details. These crabs are commonly described by their physical appearance, ecosystem, and history.

Foremost, in a mutualistic relationship, both organisms benefit. One example of a mutualistic relationship is that of the oxpecker (two species of bird which make up the family Buphagidae) and the zebra or rhinoceros. Oxpeckers land on zebras or rhinos and feed on ticks and other parasites that live on ...
The animals jostle for their seat at the table too, as they know the best chance of getting a bite is sitting below me; I am the messiest. In my life I have had 31 pets. I have a distinct memory of each pet in my life. Each pet has impacted all of our lives and has brought our family closer together. At the age of four, I stood on top the jungle gym, in tears, as our family took turns giving speeches about Haley; the first pet I ever lost. At the age of eight, I gripped my moms hand as the vet came to our house to put down my parents first shared dog Chestnut. Even after my parents became divorced at the age of eleven, events like these continued to bring our family closer together. When I was 17, on Christmas my dad and mom sat together in tears, when Angel looked as if she experiencing her last breath. When I was 14 years old and I sat hugging my dad, as my deceased grandmother’s cat passed away. Once again, even years after the divorce my mom made sure my dad’s cat received a proper burial. She not only buried Lilac in our pet cemetery, but she dug the hole herself. You see our animals look at everyone in our family as family. They do not view my dad as a stranger. When he is over for dinner they greet him with the sloppiest of wet kisses. This I know will never
