Mutualism

Explore mutualism by conducting an experiment between a bird and a crocodile.

Study the relationships that exist among different species in nature with interactive learning opportunities. Complete experiments, answer questions, make predictions, and take quizzes—learn science in a whole new way.

Play the role of an Egyptian plover bird and step inside the mouth of a crocodile! Then observe how two different species are affected when they are together or separate. In doing so, you’ll learn more about mutualism and study examples of other types of symbiotic relationships.

• Find out why a plover bird might risk its life by standing in the mouth of a crocodile.

• Make predictions about how the crocodile and bird will interact.

• Observe how two different species are affected when they are together or separate.

• Analyze graphs of data showing changes among the species, and then make conclusions.

• See if you can correctly identify organisms that have mutualistic relationships.
