A humpback whale briefly swallows kayaker in Chilean Patagonia — and it's all captured on camera
-
Imagine adding, “briefly swallowed by a whale” to your CV…
-
Something something Jonah?
-
Do they always spit out stuff that's too big? I put stuff that's bigger than my throat in my mouth all the time. That's what chewing is for.
-
Humpback whales don't have teeth to chew with. They have baleen that acts like a sieve ... the whale takes a mouthful of water, then pushes out the water out through the baleen, leaving krill (small fish) inside.
-
I think I have a different definition of the word "swallowed".
-
That's what she said.
-
Yeah, this is less of an eat and more of a mouthwash.
-
"From a distance, you looked like krill."
-
Netflix and krill?
-
slow clap ...
-
Maybe, but it also depends on how long you can keep your breath. I doubt you will be fine if it dives.
-
That was my first thought when it resurfaced that second time, lol
Woops! My bad. Let me just check for a sec on ya.
-
Can I subscribe to more whale facts?
-
A whale ain't no "big fish."
-
I think it was a few years ago a diver was swallowed and instead of just letting him go, he was spat out 15ft into the air. Way more terrifying.
-
Whales-R-Us always has great sails.
-
I don't know if you're joking, but I absolutely, 100% would.
-
I'll stick to kayaking fresh water. All I gotta worry about are gators and Florida Man.
-
I dunno. Imo Florida man and gators kill way more people than humback whales do. I mean the whale just spits you out alive, albeit with big brown stains on your pants.

"Wait, you're not plankton."
