Symbiotic relationships are a beautiful part of nature’s design. This video by @tatar_travel shows just how mutually beneficial this relationship can be. From the outside, it looks like these jackdaws steal the fur from the sika deer to build their nests. However, it’s not stealing when the sika deer gets something more than just a haircut. Here’s how the co-existence of these animals helps their survival. Jackdaws are part of the crow family and are native to the United Kingdom.

Eagles are often seen as a symbol of strength and pride. They have few enemies to worry about and are at the top of the food chain in the world of raptors. These apex predators are virtually fearless, which extends to their mating bonds. In this video by @youronlysourceofserotonin, two eagles display unbelievable devotion in their free fall. However, these aerial cartwheels mean far more than meets the eye and could mean life or death.

Some animals are capable of extraordinary things. This video, reposted by @animalsblessourday, went viral as people admired the compassion between a water buffalo and a turtle. In the video, the water buffalo flips the turtle over, seemingly saving him from certain death. But is this common behavior, or did the water buffalo happen to see a reptile in need? This video could potentially show the true nature of a domesticated water buffalo. They’re known to be gentle, docile, and friendly.

Oscar Meyer might be the go-to for every teenager's lunch in America, but when it comes to a gourmet-level sandwich, it just doesn't hit. There's something about the way a meat slicer sounds like music to the ear of a turkey lover, or how a sample of thinly-sliced ham tastes like heaven. It's not just the atmosphere of a deli that makes the meat taste better, though. As it turns out, there's some science behind cold cuts boasting better quality from the deli counter.

Anyone who has chickens knows that each one has its own personality. Some might be especially vocal, while others are shy or curious. The one thing they all have in common is their cleaning habits, which, surprisingly, includes dirt, as seen in this post by @panoramagardenestate. It might seem like these chickens are making themselves dirtier, but it’s one of their most hygienic behaviors. This sentiment couldn’t be truer for chickens and many other animals.
