Mutual Friends

Captured at the Mautern in Austria
You know how on facebook you can have mutual friends with people you don't know. Well, mutualism is when two species of animals have a positive or mutual relationship. The fish and the duck in this picture have a mutual relationship because a study shows that one duck can increase the fish population. The ducks eat all the tadpoles, frogs, and other species, creating a good plentiful of duck droppings that help the pond become pollution free due to the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous from the droppings which increase the population of fish.
