Fig seeds are dispersed by birds, such as great pied hornbills. The strangler fig is a parasitic plant which grows around a host tree and kills it by starving it of light and nutrients. All figs are pollinated by their own species of fig wasps and could not reproduce without them. The fig wasps live inside the figs. The males are wingless and drag females from their pupae, desperate to mate. They then cut a hole out of the fig for the winged females to leave through. The females take pollen with them and go in search of another fig tree.
