Whale lice are real creatures. Not true lice, not even insects. fittingly they are crustaceans. Each species of whale has their own co-evolved louse. In right whales there are 2 species, one on females and the other on males.
Should you search for images of whale lice? On the grossness scale: not as bad as a surinam toad that gives birth through its skin-- but it's worse than images of, say, a rash.
Supposedly, the ectoparasites don't bother the whales much, but has anyone really asked them?
