Poison Mutualism!


This picture shows a "hairy rope" climbing up a tree. This is a form of mutualism because both the poison and tree are benefiting. The symbiotic relationship of mutualism is when two organisms benefit from each other. This is an example of this, because the tree benefits from the protection of the poison. Also, the poison benefits from the tree by receiving all the necessary supplies.
