NATURE — There are many amazing examples of symbiosis in the animal kingdom. For example, the Egyptian plover is a small bird that pecks food from between the teeth of Nile crocodiles, benefiting both species. And bees and flowers need each other to survive.
Oh, and there's also the age-old relationship between angler and eagle. As you can see in this video, when fishermen catch dangerous sharks, an eagle will bravely fly to the rescue and eat the shark before it has a chance to attack the human.
In all seriousness, I really like how the people reacted in this video. They seemed to care about the eagle and tried to avoid harming it in any way.
"Two fishermen were reeling in a small bonnet shark at sunset in Dunedin, (Florida), when an eagle swooped in for dinner," says the video's description. "They took some pictures with the majestic bird, cut the line and gathered the hook, then let her feast on her 'catch.'"
I guess that's a pretty good evening if you can catch a shark and get to see a bald eagle up close.
