AI story, real facts. We pulled a tiny barnacle off her dorsal fin and found a giant growing right behind it. 🐋 That fin sits on the hump that gave humpbacks their name, and barnacle glue is one of the strongest in nature. Right now, humpbacks off Brazil are starting their long trip south to feed. Where on a whale should we look next?

AI story, real facts. She rolled over and lifted her flipper to our boat, with two giant hitchhikers riding on its edge. 🐋 Humpback flippers can grow 16 feet long, and the k***s along their edge inspired more efficient fans and wind turbines. Scientists in Brazil found whale barnacles grow larger on the flippers than near the tail. What do you think she was telling us?

AI story, real facts. The barnacle on this newborn calf was almost as big as its head, and its mother never left its side. 🐋 Humpback mothers and calves talk in quiet whispers, and right now is calving season off Brazil, from July to November. We used our hands, a towel, a wooden lever and a canvas strap. What name would you give this little one?

This barnacle had rabbit ears, and it wasn't growing on the whale. It was growing on another barnacle. 🐋 Rabbit-ear barnacles grow only on humpback whale barnacles, and the whale's skin grows right into those barnacles' shells. We took the rabbit ears off and left the crown on. Would you have left it there, like we did?

Four giant barnacles stood guard in a ring around one see-through sea sq**rt on her back. 🐋 Some real sea sq**rts are almost see-through, so you can watch their insides working. We took the guards down one by one with our hands, a rope on the boat, a wooden lever and a ratchet strap. Which of the four would you have taken first?

10/13/2026

A sea sq**rt as big as an armchair was riding on her back, and for once the giant barnacle beside it looked small. 🐋 Out of the water, sea sq**rts often blast out all the water they hold, and this one soaked all of us. We tried our hands, a wooden lever, a canvas sling and a winch. Which was harder to take off, the barnacle or the giant sea sq**rt?

10/13/2026

The giant goose neck barnacle like a fire hydrant grew right in front of her blowholes, so every breath hit it. 🐋 Humpbacks breathe through two nostrils on top of their heads, and the orange sea sq**rt beside it sq**rted at us the whole time. We tried our hands, a paddle, long pliers and a ratchet strap. Which tool would you have tried first?

10/12/2026

A barnacle as big as a fire hydrant was swaying on her back, and the orange blob beside it sq**rted at us. 🐋 Gooseneck barnacles and sea sq**rts both feed by filtering food from the water. We tried our hands, a rope, a hooked pole and tongs. Which hitchhiker would you have taken off first?

Trail of octpus black ink after threat. Then it opened its eyes. 🐙 A giant Pacific octopus had climbed into a crab trap for an easy meal, and a humpback whale swam straight into the trap's line. Now she was towing both. Off the West Coast, crab traps are the gear most often identified on entangled whales. Would you have saved the octopus too?
