Head lice can live only on a human head. They can not live without a head to feed on (suck blood) for longer than a couple of days at most. They can not live on animals. They can not jump and they can not fly. But, they can crawl along your hair and onto someone else's hair if the hair is touching (or if they fall into your hair brush and then someone else uses it).
