These birds land on a wounded hippo and drink its blood, but the hippo doesn’t chase them away… because these birds are actually saving its life. These oxpeckers, also known as nature’s doctors, land on animals like rhinos, elephants, and giraffes. They eat lice, ticks, and parasites, and even clean wounds by eating the rotting flesh and dirt inside them. This way, they prevent deadly infections. And at the same time, with their sharp eyes they notice approaching predators and start screaming, acting like a natural radar and protecting animals—especially those with poor eyesight.
