The swollen thorns of this acacia are naturally hollow and are often inhabited by a variety of stinging ants. The wind blows across the exit/entry holes made by the ants creating a whistling sound. These acacia and their resident ants form an interesting symbiotic relationship in which the ants get food and shelter in exchange for driving off giraffes and other herbivores.
