That's the kind of life our little friend, the flea, lives. These miniature creatures, smaller than a grain of rice, have bodies that are flat side to side, making it easy for them to move through the fur of their hosts. Even though they are tiny, fleas are quite tough, with a hard exoskeleton that helps protect them. You might not see them with your naked eye, but with their dark, reddishbrown color, they're there, hopping around like tiny acrobats.  \nRemember how we said fleas are acrobats? Well,  \nthey've got some other cool tricks up their sleeves, too! Fleas are not picky eaters. They feed on the blood of their hosts, which can be a variety of animals, even including your pet dog or cat. After a good meal, a female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day! These eggs hatch into larvae, which then develop into pupae before finally becoming adult fleas, ready to jump on a new host.  \nFrom the life cycle of our little friends, you might be wondering what kind of relationship they have with other animals. Well, fleas are considered parasites because they live on other animals and depend on them for food. While this might not be the best deal for the host, for the flea, it's the perfect way to get a steady supply of meals. But be careful, because fleas can sometimes transfer diseases from one animal to another.  \nSo, with all this hopping around and living on different hosts, how do fleas compare to other tiny creatures? Unlike other insects, fleas don't have wings, but they make up for it with their incredible jumping skills. They can jump up to 150 times their own height! That's like a human jumping over a skyscraper.
