Zebras and Giraffes will herd together. Since the giraffes have their heads way up above the zebra herd, they can see a lion or other predator coming and will make an alarm call. The zebras listen to the giraffes and so they know when to start running for their lives.
For this to be a true symbiotic relationship, the giraffes must also get a benefit, which I cannot remember what it is. At least this info is a start...

aside from the giraffe alerting the zebra, the zebra have powerful night vision and alert giraffe to after dark attacks from cheetahs and leopards.

They lengthen each other's lifetime, since they both serve as prey for the same predators. In other words, they share the burden of dying.
