Although the crocodile is an extremely fearsome carnivore, it also has a pretty good relationship with some birds such as the Egyptian plover (Pluvianus aegyptius) – a bird that helps crocodiles clean their teeth or eat other animals. skin parasites (symbiotic relationship).

This time, the bird dikkop also helped the crocodile save a lost goal against the stealthy egg thief, the iguana. This bird often chooses to lay eggs near where crocodiles lay eggs to help keep their eggs safe.

Crocodiles will be the guardians for the nests of dikkop birds, but not always crocodiles can stay close to their nests to protect the nests but have to go looking for food. This inadvertently creates an opportunity for stealthy thieves to come and even the dikkop’s nest will be in danger.

Dikkop birds are also not gentle people, they are considered the bravest parents among birds, not only in daring to be around crocodiles but also because of their aggressiveness to protect their own nests. .

The pair of parent birds bravely attacked the lizard by ruffled feathers, spread their wings and pecked the thief, and yet, they even “screamed” – an SOS signal of the spy so that the crocodile could detect thief and return to protect his nest.
