@wowilderness: Whales often have barnacles and other small organisms living on their skin. These organisms attach themselves to the whale's skin and feed on the small particles of food that the whale filters from the water. Barnacles are particularly common on the skin of whales that swim slowly or near the surface of the water, as they provide a stable surface for the barnacles to attach to. While barnacles on a whale's skin may seem like a nuisance, they are not harmful to the whale and are actually a part of the whale's natural ecosystem.
