Cheeky Baby Elephant vs The Birds

Very cute! Watch this young baby Elephant getting irritated with the birds (insect eaters) that follow them around.
Insect eating birds derive their nutrition by feeding on the insects. To increase the feeding rates, these birds follow the grazing animals such as Elephant.
As the grazing Elephants move, insects are flushed out of the grasses which in turn serve as food for the birds. Here, the birds are benefited while the Elephants remain unaffected. Therefore, it represents the example of commensalism.
