Question
While grazing, a buffalo stirs up insects. These insects are eaten by cattle egrets. What type of interaction does the cattle egret exhibit with the buffalo?
Solution
VerifiedCommensalism. Usually, cattle egrets follow herds of large hoofed mammals (such as cattle, buffalo, etc...). They eat the insects that have been stirred up by the buffalo as they move. This relationship is commensalism, because the birds benefit but the ungulate is neither harmed nor helped.
