Humpback whale swallows, then releases, kayaker in Chilean Patagonia
2025-02-14
[AFRICANEWS] The incident occurred in Bahia El Aguila near the San Isidro Lighthouse. While kayaking with his father, Adrien was trapped in the whale's mouth for a few seconds before being let go. His father, Dell, captured the moment on video. Despite the terrifying experience, both returned to shore safely. Whale attacks on humans are rare in Chilean waters, though collisions with ships are on the increase.
What a story!

#9  An ancient beluga from Perm
Whose noggin was roomy and firm
Once went on a cruise
With some dissolute blues...
And she just reached the end of her term.
At university, silly. Everybody knows you can't get pregnant like that. Especially at her age. [Quiet Flows the Don sung by W.C. Fields]

#4  Whale was probably coming up on a school of krill or small fish with its mouth open (as they do).

Kayaker was most likely hovering over that school.

#3  Assumed accident, of course, but got to wondering whether those rascals might not mess with a floating carcass. Swish-n-squish, see what shakes loose, and ptooey? Or how about "Just a pinch between cheek and gum?"
