His friends name was Jim the bald eagle. On Tim's (the Wolveriene) way he passed many different kinds of animals. One of them was the friendly flying squirrel who lived in also a similar tree to Jim, a red cedar tree. This is an example of Commensalim the squirrel benefits from the tree letting him live there but the tree could care less if he is there or not. As he scurried on Tim wondered on to Jim's house he noticed another example of this time of Mutualism a bee and the balsam fir. Both benefit from this type because the bee gets the pollen and the balsam fir gets reproduced. As Jim is off in a daze a bear is tracking him, this was an example of predator and prey relationship...... getting closer and closer until he finally decides to go in for the kill but a European red squirrel comes to the rescue and warns the Wolveriene about the bear. Now it was a race, but the bear was gaining on the wolveriene. there was little Cynobacteria and little Lichen where rooting them on in the exciting race. Just as the bear was about to pounce on the little Wolveriene a green slick moss which was part of the kingdom fungi reached out and tripped the bear. This gave the eagle who was looming below a chance to come and swoop down and save the Wolveriene from the near cluches of the mighty Grizzly bear. After this near encounter with a grizzly bear Jim thanked Tim who was his best friend. Jim felt very safe up in Tim's Red Cedar tree away from the Bear. As Jim looked outside he saw a Bobcat that was being bitten by a couple of mosquitoes. As Jim thought he knew this was another example of Parasitism because the Bobcat was the mosquitoes host. The mosquitoes was the only one who benfited from this because he was going to get food but the Bobcat was going to suffer for the cause. Jim was very thankful that day and was friends with Tim from that day forward.
