Just as we get rid of many kinds of things from nature like insects,climate etc. ; we protect ourselves from such things like putting on the mosquito repellent for guarding from mosquitoes,wearing sweaters during winter etc. Like that many animals are also known to get rid of many natural agents and also insects and other animals by using varieties of techniques.
When it rains we open up our umbrellas or wear our raincoats (wind-cheaters). Forget about raincoats, since animals do not wear anything, they have to get rid of rains by taking a shed or using some smart methods. Orangutans are one of those who use these methods and they do it by taking large leaves or a branch of tree with leaves and covering the top of their heads akin to usage of umbrellas. Yes, it gives quite a resemblance to humans way of thinking.
For getting rid of insects like flies,mites animals have adapted their own ways of keeping them at bay. One of these methods is by dust bathing. Many animals which include zebras and bison do by rolling in dust. Elephants do so by spraying mud on their backs by their trunks and even wallowing in sticky mud. The latter method is done even by rhinos.
Grooming is another method of removing tiny insects like fleas from the hair/fur which is a reason for monkeys checking each others hairs or even cats licking their bodies by using rough part on their tongue.
Animals usually get rid of bad weather, insects and other animals (prey from predator). But, here is a predatory animal which gets rid of other predators just to shield its prey(carcass). Post catching its prey, a leopard will scale up a tree with its carcass getting rid of robbers like lions and hyenas who are strong enough to fight and rob it. Really nice opportunity for these spotted beasts to eat in peace up there. But for the other spotted beast i.e. the cheetah, such opportunities are absent as they aren't adept climbers and no other place to hide and eat in their open habitat i.e. savannas. Due to this, their prey carcasses are often lost to these robbers. How sad! Thus, it is a matter of luck for them while feeding.
