A humpback whale briefly swallowed a kayaker off Chilean Patagonia before quickly releasing him unharmed. The incident, caught on camera, quickly went viral...

quote:
No doubt it was a terrifying ordeal ... even though Adrian only had a brief stay in the whale’s mouth, before being spit out and left floating in the open ocean.

Adrian later explained he thought he was a goner from being attacked by an orca -- but then realized it was a humpback, probably just curious, possibly trying to communicate.

But even once he was back out, Adrian says his panic didn’t let up -- fearing his dad might get the same treatment.

The only reason the whale let the guy go is because it realized it was being recorded. This whale is no saint or any shite like that!

I'll bet there have been lots of posters on this site who have been in a whale's mouth, and the whale spits them out rather than swallowing.

Wow, that was genius. I never thought to ever use myself as bait when fishing. Ive been going about this all wrong.

I can't even imagine how completely freaked out you would be when that happened.

I went on a whale cruise off of Boston and someone asked if whales can swallow humans. The answer is no except for sperm whales. All whales have small throats to swallow a human. Except the sperm whale.

Mexican take out is universal

That’s not even a kayak, it’s a packraft which isn’t a good idea in the open ocean. Was this just a stunt for clicks?

Yes. They paid the whale $300 to be in their viral video.
