Paddling in the Strait of Magellan, Adrián Simancas was caught in a humpback’s lunge. “I realized that I was in something’s mouth and I had been eaten,” he said.

A humpback whale briefly scooped a kayaker in Chile into its mouth in an incident straight out of the biblical book of Jonah.

A drián Simancas was kayaking with his father when the whale swallowed him for a few seconds before releasing him unharmed.
