Information
has gloss	(noun) large blue Pacific remora that attaches to whales and dolphins whalesucker, whale sucker, Remilegia australis
has gloss	eng: The whalesucker, Remora australis, is a species of remora in the family Echeneidae, so named because it attaches itself exclusively to cetaceans. It is found worldwide in tropical and warm waters; in the western Atlantic Ocean it occurs from Texas to Brazil, and in the eastern Pacific Ocean it occurs from Vancouver Island to Chile. It is the rarest member of the remora family, though this may reflect more the uncommon collection of cetaceans in the wild rather than the whalesucker's actual abundance.
