There’s grooming and there’s grooming. In most cases when one animal grooms the other it is a behaviour that, besides the removal of irritating skin parasites, stabilises the social structure of animals that live in groups, and confirms the social status of the individuals who are engaged in the grooming activities. But you can do it ‘quick and dirty’ when you really want to go somewhere else ;-), as you can see in the video.
