Scoobert Doobert - I Am a Lobster, I Am a Barnacle

I am a lobster
I am a barnacle

Okay so
Barnacles are just along for the ride
They don't harm the whales
Or feed on the whales
Like true parasites do
Barnacles don't serve any obvious advantage to the whales

But they give helpful lice
A place to hang on the whale
Without being
Helpful lice?
Lice?
They give helpful lice

The lice in my head
On a whale

How does that work?
So it's like
Wait, lice?
Like hair lice?

Commensalism
Commensalism

It's symbiotic
But it's also kinda parasitic
Like you and me
I'm barnacle
And you're the sea

Whale lice feed on algae and whale skin
But there is no evidence that whale lice are harmful to whales

Does it itch?

There is no evidence that whale lice are harmful to whales
