animal moves so infrequently that two species of algae grow on its coat and between its toes.

does this mean that
1) 2 species of algae grow on each its coat and between its toes i.e. total of 4 species
2) 1 species of algae grow on its coat and 1 between its legs

[spoiler]i think sentence means 2)
[/spoiler]
Premise: If you like my post

I think neither.

My interpretation:
Suppose there are two species A and B.
A and B grow on its coat. A and B also grow between its toes.
