EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Art Wolfe showcases the unique relationship between a Red-billed oxpecker and a Grants zebra in the stunning Ngorongoro Conservation Area of Tanzania. The image beautifully captures the essence of cooperation and assistance found in nature. In this photograph, we see a Red-billed oxpecker perched on the haunch of a magnificent Grants zebra. These two animals have formed an extraordinary bond based on mutual benefits. The oxpeckers, scientifically known as Buphagus erythrorhyncus, play an essential role in maintaining the health and well-being of zebras by feeding on ticks that infest their hides. In return for this tick removal service, these helpful birds also enjoy indulging in blood meals from their striped companions. The composition is strikingly humorous as it portrays curiosity on both sides – with the zebra seemingly intrigued by its feathered friend while the oxpecker appears to be focused intently on its task at hand. Against a backdrop of vibrant colors and under bright daylight, this piece truly brings out the beauty of these safari animals thriving harmoniously in their natural habitat. Art Wolfe's photography skillfully captures not only animal themes but also highlights identity through his lens. This particular print serves as a reminder of how different species can come together to form unlikely alliances for survival and thrive amidst adversity.
