Gold Medallist 9: Redbilled oxpecker (Buphagus erythrorhynchus)!!
Event: Equestrian
The red-billed oxpecker, pictured here on an impala, rides on the backs of African grazing mammals, eating ticks and other parasites living on their host. The relationship between oxpeckers and the mammals they perch on is generally beneficial to both, but may be detrimental to the mammals in some cases. There is also a yellow-billed oxpecker (Buphagus africanus).
