A humpback whale briefly swallowed a kayaker off Chilean Patagonia before quickly releasing him unharmed. The incident, caught on camera, quickly went viral.
Last Saturday, Adrián Simancas was kayaking with his father, Dell, in Bahía El Águila near the San Isidro Lighthouse in the Strait of Magellan when a humpback whale surfaced, engulfing Adrián and his yellow kayak for a few seconds before letting him go.
He got spit out because he was Chilean - the whale had been hoping for a little Mexican for dinner .

Looks like a gigantic Hawk Tuah event
ReplyDeleteThe story of Jonah is not just a biblical tale. I was wondering if one of the blogs I visit would have this after I saw it yesterday.

Thank you Nemo
DeleteGuess the whale won't swallow seamen. I knew a few whales like that.
ReplyDeleteThat's so wrong, funny as hell but wrong...👍

Reminds me of the old joke:
DeleteAmerican Tourist: Excuse me, are you ladies from Scotland?
Ladies: It’s Wales!
American Tourist: My apologies, are you whales from Scotland?
The humpback is a baleen whale. Instead of teeth, it has filters for nearly microscopic organisms. Swallowing a man would be like one of us chewing a rock.
