Some animals adapt to work together. This is called mutualism. They help each other survive. Read about two examples.
Clown Fish and Sea Anemones
Sea anemones (above) have tentacles. They sting. But clown fish are not harmed. The fish bring food to the anemones. The anemones give them a place to hide from predators.
Sharks and Remoras
Remoras are fish. They swim alongside sharks. They eat things on a shark’s skin. This keeps the shark clean and healthy. The remora also eats the shark’s leftover scraps.
