Humpback Whale Swallows and Spits Out Kayaker in Bizarre Incident

ai generated text

A humpback whale in the Strait of Magellan briefly swallowed a 24-year-old kayaker named Adrian Simancas. Adrian was kayaking with his father when the whale surfaced and scooped him up in its mouth. This terrifying moment was captured on camera by the kayaker's father, Dell, who is heard yelling to his son to "grab the boat" once Adrian had been spat out.

    2. I thought it had eaten me, that it had swallowed me.
