Fish eating the dead skin off a hippo is a common example of mutualism—a relationship where both animals benefit. Hippos spend a lot of time in rivers and lakes, and their thick skin sheds dead cells and attracts parasites.

This helps the fish get an easy meal, and the hippo gets a natural cleaning service, keeping its skin healthier. Video credit goes to @sanantoniozoo Feel free to exp
