Of course is necessary to have plenty of potential hosts to attache to IE: mice rodents dear, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, horses goats, lizards, and of course people. The feeding of blood victims is necessary for there life cycle, to enable them to survive. Larve, nympths, on to youg age into adult life.

The ground can be considered the home in which ticks live. Eggs, laid on the ground by females, hatch into larvae, which feed and molt into nymphs on the ground. Sandy soil in a landscape of deer, hardwood trees, and water provide an ideal habitat for ticks to live and thrive.
Bears can host a variety of ticks, but the exact number of ticks on an individual bear can vary widely based on factors like season, habitat, and tick population in the area. Generally, a bear may carry anywhere from a few to several dozen ticks at a time. Ticks often attach to bears during their foraging activities in areas where ticks are prevalent. Regular grooming behavior helps bears manage and reduce tick infestations.
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.
Dogs of course, but as long as they haven't moved to dogs they like forest, dense undergrowth and sandy areas, certainly if these are a bit humid.
A group of ticks is called a "cluster" or a "pack."
