Kayaker Briefly Swallowed by Humpback Whale off Chilean Coast

A 24-year-old kayaker was swept into a humpback whale's mouth near the Magellan Strait and safely expelled moments later.

Adrián Simancas, a 24-year-old kayaker, was briefly engulfed by a humpback whale while kayaking near Punta Arenas, Chile.
The incident occurred as Simancas and his father, Dell, were paddling in the Magellan Strait, with Dell capturing the event on camera.
Simancas described feeling something slimy and seeing dark blue and white colors before realizing he was inside the whale's mouth.
Experts believe the whale likely mistook the kayak for prey while feeding, as humpback whales typically consume krill and small fish.
Despite the terrifying experience, both father and son plan to continue kayaking together, emphasizing their love for the ocean.
