Crocodiles are not known to have cleaning symbiosis with any species of bird. Birds such as the Egyptian plover and the spur-winged lapwing have often been stated to regularly remove leeches, insects, or pieces of meat caught in the teeth of a crocodile. The behavior was first documented by Greek historian Herodotus, and the claim was repeated by other naturalists, such as Aristotle and Pliny the Elder. However, no photo or video evidence of the behavior has been captured. Purported evidence is often from photoshopped images or advertisements.
