On the African savanna, survival can depend on the smallest allies. Red-billed oxpeckers search across the backs of Cape buffalo, feeding on parasites hidden in their thick hides. But their relationship with the buffalo goes beyond food and cleaning. When a predator approaches, these tiny birds may become the first to detect the danger. Watch as a quiet partnership turns into an unexpected survival advantage in The Parasite Hunters.
