    Whale was like “if not food, why food shaped?” 😂

    Seriously though, that must have been terrifying…

      Humpbacks eat krill and plankton-- not sure why it went for something large

        Probably an accident. It can’t even physically swallow something of human size.

    Kayaker identified as “Person Swallowed by Whale” in interview. What a legend.

    This is crazy. Even crazier that it was all captured on camera.

    Gives me shivers just thinking about it.

    And that’s just the “kayaking in the Strait of Magellan” part, let alone getting eaten by a whale!
