Pretty Best Friends - Symbioses in the Rainforest

If you want to survive in the rainforest, you need allies. And so the most incredible partnerships of two or even three different species are formed with only one goal: If you help me, I'll help you. Symbiosis is the name for this close relationship where everyone wins. For example, by offering each other food or shelter. Or providing cleaning services. The term comes from ancient Greek and means "living together".
