Although surprised, Kifaru accepts his offer and the rhino starts to walk away with Bunga snacking on the bugs on his back. He leaps onto Kifaru's back and announces his new role. Bunga suggests a temporary tickbird to take him there - himself. Kion decides that they will find Mwenzi, although Fuli doubts that they can find him in time. As he is speaking, he walks away tearfully. When Fuli asks about it, Kifaru explains that Tamasha is an event that occurs during the wet season, and it is when the rhinos gather near Lake Matope to spar in the mud. He then sings about his friendship.īunga the tickbirdBeshte concludes that he didn't mean to cause all the trouble, and Kifaru apologises again and explains how he was trying to get to the Tamasha. Bunga then decides it's a great idea, to which Kifaru agrees. Fuli asks what's in it for the tickbirds, and she discovers that it is literally ticks and other insects that crawl on the rhino's back. Ono then continues explaining how, for that reason, rhinos will often pair up with tickbirds, who will guide them and warn them of dangers they can't see. Although Bunga fears that it will upset him, Kifaru admits that his eyesight is worse than most other rhino's. Ono then realises why he's been acting so strangely, and proceeds to tell a curious Bunga that rhinos have poor eyesight. Beshte recalls how they were such good friends and were always together, but the rhino informs them that Mwenzi left him for no reason. With a hefty sigh, Kifaru mentions Mwenzi. Kifaru reminisces about Mwenzi Ono swoops down and inquires about his tickbird. When the Guard question his behavior, Ono notices that his tickbird is missing. He issues another apology before walking away, heading straight for a tree. He apologises and turns to walk the other way, nearly hitting Fuli instead. He starts to move forward but almost catches Bunga with his horn. Kifaru raises himself and apologises.įuli leaps backKion then asks why he's causing trouble, and the rhino reveals that he was unaware of any trouble that he was causing, despite the baboons' cries and the masses of logs on the floor. Bunga then squeaks that he does, since Kifaru is sitting on him. Once free, Kifaru thanks the Guard for their assistance, telling them that they had no idea how it felt to be stuck like that. With Beshte pushing the tree one way, Ono watching his horn and the others moving Kifaru the other way, they are able to pull Kifaru loose. He is reassured that the Lion Guard will get him out, to which he is grateful for. Beshte asks him what the problem is, and he softens at his presence, answering that he's stuck. Bunga suggests catching the baboons instead, but is discouraged from his own idea when one of them knocks him over.Īssisting KifaruThe Lion Guard approach Kifaru, who reacts irritably to Kion's order to stop shaking the tree. They soon discover that the rhino has crashed into the tree, and the baboons are scarpering away. But a baboon lands on her face and pushes her down. Ono exclaims that a rhino is headed for the baboons' tree, and Fuli rushes ahead to stop him. The damaged groveThe Lion Guard are following Ono through a ruined Nyani Grove. We're creating a place that recognises and supports this cross-discipline, mutualist relationship. We're enabling independent creative makers and thinkers to do what they do best, say what they have to say in whatever material or language they need to say it, all while working in partnership with each other and the world.Ono must fill in for a rhino's tickbird while the Guard helps the rhino and his usual tickbird resolve their differences. We think this nicely describes the relationship creative, independent people have with the world. The world gives these folk a home, while they, in turn, keep the world healthy and on its toes. The bird, returning the favour, keeps its host healthy and also acts as an early warning system, giving the rhino a heads-up when it needs to know something's up. The rhino provides the bird with safe haven and something good to eat. Another example is the bond all of us have with bacteria - it makes up so much of our bodies, we wouldn't be human without it (but as far as names go, we didn’t think GUTBACTERIA& HUMAN sounded nearly as nice as TICKBIRD& RHINO ). In some cases this connection is so necessary that each couldn't live without the other. The love affair between tickbird and rhino illustrates mutualism, a relationship in which both parties benefit from the activity of the other.
