Hermit crabs live in shells made and abandoned by snails. 7. Two male rams use their horns in a fight over who will be the lead alpha and mate with the surrounding females. 8. Some shrimp and crab live and capture food from within the tentacles of giant anemones. then 9. A tapeworm needs to eat food that is already digested, so it lives in the intestines of a dogfish shark and derives nourishment from the shark. As a result of the tapeworm infestation, the shark is weakened and more vulnerable to disease and predation. 10. Cheetahs and lions both species feed on similar prey such as antelope 11. Cyanobacteria (algae) live among filaments of a fungus. The fungus benefits from the cyanobacteria because they produce food by photosynthesis. 8
