Where are ectoparasites normally found on a rabbit?

• A. Lungs
• B. Liver
• C. On the skin
• D. In the intestinal tract

Answer: (C)

Ectoparasites are external parasites that live on the surface of the animal. On a rabbit, you’d find them on the skin and in the fur, such as fleas, mites, or lice that feed at the skin surface or within the coat. The lungs, liver, and intestinal tract are internal organs where endoparasites live, not ectoparasites, so those sites aren’t where external parasites are found. So, the location where ectoparasites are normally found on a rabbit is on the skin.
