      Interesting question! Yes, some animals do look after other species! A good example are ants!

      Some ants farm little insects called aphids like we farm cows and sheep. The aphids make a sweet substance called honeydew, and the ants will stroke the aphids to make it come out, like we milk cows! The ants will also protect the aphids from predators, so the aphids get well looked after! Very cool!
