Answer:

One example of a mutualistic relationship is that of the oxpecker (a kind of bird) and the rhinoceros or zebra. The oxpeckers get food and the beasts get pest control.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mutualistic relationship is when two organisms of different species "work together," each benefiting from the relationship.
