Animals have lice too, they prefer the hair-skin environments?

Below, dogs can get lice too...



It's actually the hair. They could care less about our scalp, cuz if they did, bald people would have live. Our hair isn't like dog or any other animal hair. It has it's certain texture and thickness which makes it good for laying their eggs(nits) on.
