Possum pulling ticks off a deer's face. Tick infestations are serious in the dry months and have even killed young ones. Possums love to eat ticks. reddit.com From the comments Xylth 212 points · 4 hours ago Cleaner animals are common in coral reef ecosystems, which have skin parasites that can get downright terrifying if not removed. Cleaner wrasse and cleaner shrimp are the best known. Tangs help clean algae off sea turtles, which would otherwise grow until it interfered with their swimming. On land, some birds specialize in cleaning ticks and other parasites out of other animals' fur. But this is the first time I've heard of a cleaner possum. n_eats_n 226 points · 3 hours ago We had a saltwater aquarium when I was a kid. One day we get a cleaner shrimp. We have it in the bag in the tank until the temperature equalizes. All the fish are going nuts around the bag and we are starting to get worried what will happen when we let the shrimp out. Finally do. The shrimp is let out and drifts to the bottom. All the fish in the tank get in a freaken line like little schoolchildren waiting for the shrimp to clean the parasites off of them. It went on for over an hour. A polite little fish line.
