The whistling thorn tree, known for its hollow thorns that house mutualistic ants, is primarily consumed by herbivores such as giraffes and elephants. These animals feed on the leaves and pods of the tree, while the ants protect the tree from herbivory and other threats. This mutualistic relationship benefits both the tree and the animals that feed on it.
