A remarkable wildlife photograph capturing four Yellow-billed Oxpeckers (Buphagus africanus) perfectly aligned on the broad back of an African Cape Buffalo. The birds, distinguished by their brown plumage and characteristic yellow-red bills, are shown in their natural symbiotic relationship with the buffalo. The image is composed against a soft, neutral background with dried grassland visible in the foreground, creating a classic African savanna scene. This natural interaction showcases the fascinating relationship between these birds, which feed on parasites, and their massive host, demonstrating one of nature's most successful partnerships.
