The Name : "Cattle Tyrant".
May be you think of someone's Cattle or Cow labelled as Tyrant.
Or a Tyrant who calls himself as "Cattle Tyrant".
Yet what if you come to know that it is a Bird's name !
Well, it's really true!
As per Wikipedia:
"The cattle tyrant (Machetornis rixosa) is a species of bird in the tyrant-flycatcher family Tyrannidae. ......"
It has symbiotic relationship with the Capybara shown in this picture and feeds on insects.
Quite interesting or not?
What do you think?

I did not know of this bird.
But I did hear of the Capybara creature.
It is good they work in tandem, cooperation. If only humans would do so.
