What clings to the back of a gray whale?

2

A. Gray whales are distinguished from other whales by the patches of barnacles that grow on their skin. Aside from barnacle patches, grey whales have patches of white, yellow and orange along their grey body that are actually concentrations of whale lice (a kind of crustacean). Gray whales feed along shorelines and travel quite slowly when they do so. This allows barnacles and lice to settle on their skin.
