How Mongooses Remove Hundreds of Ticks From an African Warthog #wildlifedocumentary y

#bbcearth #mongoose #africansavanna Every day on the African savanna, warthogs face an enemy far smaller than lions or hyenas. Hundreds of blood-feeding ticks attach themselves to the ears, face, neck, and back, while swarms of flies constantly surround the animal. Unable to remove many of these parasites on its own, the warthog depends on an unlikely ally—the Banded Mongoose. This wildlife documentary follows a full day in the life of an old warthog as a family of banded mongooses patiently remove ticks from its face, ears, neck, and body while searching for a protein-rich meal. A remarkable example of mutualism that showcases how two very different species help each other survive in the African savanna.
