Where do rhinos get ticks?

Rhinos get ticks primarily from their habitat, where these parasites thrive in tall grasses, shrubs, and wooded areas. Ticks latch onto rhinos as they move through these environments, often seeking out warm, moist areas of their skin. Additionally, rhinos may pick up ticks from other animals, including grazing herd members or during social interactions. Regular wallowing in mud or water helps rhinos dislodge some ticks, but they can still be heavily infested.
