		Observations were made during a field study of klipspringer in Zimbabwe, at the Maleme Dam area of Matobo National Park and at Sentinel Ranch, 60km west of Beit Bridge.
		Ticks may concentrate in and around the glands: in the Matobo N.P. an ixodid tick, (Ixodes matopi), aggregates on twigs that have previously been scent marked by klipspringers in order to gain access to the host on subsequent visits.
		There had been no rain for several months prior to any of the interactions at Matobo, and ticks would not have been able to locate scent marked branches as this depends on the release of an aqueous active component of the secretion when it dissolves in rainwater.
