Some animals can be trained to help humans. For example, specially trained dogs help blindpeople walk around the town safely. Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too. They canlearn how to help people who cant use their arms or legs. The monkeys pick up the phone whenit rings, carry shopping bags and do housework.
In the wild, animals and humans are not usually friends, but there are a few interesting exampleswhere they can work together. In Africa, the honeyguide bird works with humans to find food. Thebird likes to eat the grubs- a type of insect that lives inside a beehive . It knowshow to find beehives but it cant open them and get the grubs. People like to eat honey, but theyarent very good at finding beehives, so the bird and the people help each other. The bird flies to abeehive and people follow it. When the people open the beehive and take the honey, they give thegrubs to the bird.
In Laguna in the south of Brazil, fishermen and dolphins work as a team. The ocean isnt veryclean, so the fishermen cant see the fish. However, dolphins can find them easily by using sounds.
When the dolphins find a large group of fish, they make a noise to tell the fishermen. Then thedolphins push the fish to the beach. The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lotof fish in their nets. The fishermens nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too. In Laguna,fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years. The fishermen teach theirchildren how to work with the dolphins. The dolphins must be happy to help because they teachtheir babies how to work with the humans!
