Parasites.
Animals that live on other animals aren't always parasites. It depends on the type of symbiosis is taking place; commensalism (the animal obtains food and shelter from the other animal without hurting or helping it), mutualism (both animals benefit, sort of a 'you scratch my back i'll scratch yours' kind of thing), and parasitism (the name speaks for itself).

The term used for an organism living in or on another depends on the nature of the relationship.- If the relationship is mutually beneficial (mutalism) then the organism can be called a symbiont.- If the relationship does not benefit the host, the organism can be called a parasite.Parasites can be endoparasites, which live inside the host, or ectoparasites, which live on the host.Some biologists use the term symbiont for any organism in a close interaction with another. This would mean parasites could also be called symbionts.
