Mutualism
a tick sucking the lions blood.
Ticks are not contagious. A dog can only get a tick from another dog if the tick walks onto the other dog.
Both. Ticks are essentially parasites and can have bacteria that may affect a deer's health. Too many ticks can also harm a deer.
The scientific name for the American dog tick is Dermacentor Variabilis.
Commensalism- One organsim benefits one organism is unaffected Mutualism- Both organsims benifit Parasitism- A parasite feeds on the host, most often a larger organism (a tick on a dog etc.)
a red tick is a type of coon dog
A tick gets fed but the dog gets killed. so its parasitic.
because we eat meat
If you are very careful, and depending upon how deep the tick is buried, one way is to apply heat to the tick but not to the dog. Touching the tick with a burning cigarette might do then trick.
The relationship of a tick to a deer is parasitic, not symbiotic.
