How moray eel and grouper form a close bond?

Though a few animals of different species cooperate while hunting in the wild, it is rare. A fish known as a grouper will recruit a moray eel to help it extract prey that is hiding in a crevice. The honey guide, an African bird, will lead a honey badger, or even a person, to a beehive it wants to plunder of wax and grubs.

Another kind of bonding behavior is ‘imprinting’, in which newborn animals or birds will follow the first moving thing they set eyes upon, whether it is their own mother, a machine, another animal or a human.
