Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia)
Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)Symbiosis
Commensalism:The giant panda and bacteria share the symbiotic relationship of commensalism. This is because the panda benefits but the bacteria are neither helped nor harmed. The Clostridium bacteria float in the stomach of the pandas, aiding in the panda’s digestion, vitamin production, and immune system shaping.

clostridium cellulolyticumParasitism:The eimera grus and the hooded crane share the symbiotic relationship of parasitism. This is because the eimera grus benefits but the hooded crane is harmed. The eimera grus bacteria infect the stomach of the hooded crane, causing the bacteria to steal nutrients from the crane and in the process, the crane to lose nutrients.
Eimeria gruis
Hooded Crane (Grus monacha)Mutualism:The lyophyllum palustre fungus and the spartina antiflora share the symbiotic relationship of mutualism. This is because both the lyophyllum palustre and the spartina antiflora are benefitted. The fungus colonizes the spartina antiflora’s roots, giving access to carbohydrates to the fungus and access to phosphorous to spartina antiflora.the fungus colonizes the host plant's roots,
