Kayaker Swallowed by Humpback Whale Video Viral on Social Media

A kayaker in Chile has become an internet sensation after a video of him being swallowed by a humpback whale went viral on Twitter. The incident occurred while the man was kayaking with his father, who captured the incredible moment on camera.

The video shows the whale breaching the surface and engulfing the kayak and its occupant in its massive mouth. Fortunately, the whale quickly spat the kayaker and his kayak back out, and both were unharmed.

The video has sparked a frenzy of reactions online, with many expressing disbelief and amazement at the rare occurrence.

Experts say that while whales are not known to be aggressive towards humans, incidents like this can happen when they are feeding and accidentally scoop up anything in their path.

Paddling through choppy waters under cloudy skies, Adrián Simancas and his father were pack rafting only a few yards from each other when something huge lunged, mouth open, from the waves below.

A humpback whale appeared to gulp Mr. Simancas down, then rolled over into the waters of Chilean Patagonia.

Moments later, Mr. Simancas bobbed back up to the surface, followed by his kayak-sized vessel. The dark curve of the whale’s back briefly emerged behind them, then sank out of sight.

Mr Simancas’s father caught the whole thing on video.

“I felt something hit me from behind — all this happened in a second — something dark blue or white enveloped me, and a slimy texture brushed my face,”

Mr Simancas said in an interview on Thursday night.

“Then it closed completely and I started to sink, and I just closed my eyes, expecting an impact. But instead, I felt as if I was surrounded by water. I realized that I was in something’s mouth and I had been eaten.”

After a second or so, he said, “I began to feel the life jacket pulling me up and then suddenly I was out again.”

Mr Simancas, 23, and his father, Dell, had been pack rafting — they emphasized that they were using portable, inflatable craft and not kayaks — near the San Isidro Lighthouse and Bahía El Águila, a campground in Patagonia.

Dell Simancas, 49, said that he and his son, a computer engineering student, did many outdoor activities together and that they had planned their trip months ago.

The pair, who live in Chile, finally set out on their four-day trek and rafting trip last weekend, heading into the Strait of Magellan toward an island near Cape Froward.

“I turned the camera on to record the waves, and I heard a very loud sound behind me like a big wave breaking,” Dell Simancas recalled.

“I turned around and couldn’t see Adrián or the boat anywhere. Suddenly I saw him emerge from the water along with what looked like an animal.”

He said that he felt a pang of fear as soon as his son vanished — and that his experience as an anaesthetist helped him keep his composure in the moments that followed. “Stay calm, stay calm,” he can be heard saying after his son reappeared at the surface.

“At the time, I didn’t know it was a whale,” Adrián Simancas said. “I was able to stay calm thanks to my dad’s advice.”

Such encounters between whales and humans are extraordinarily rare, scientists say, and although Mr Simancas told The Associated Press he had been “swallowed,” humpbacks are filter feeders that cannot swallow anything as large as a person.

“What I see in the video suggests to me that the kayaker was just in the way of a surface-feeding whale,” said Jooke Robbins, director of the Humpback Whale Studies Program at the Center for Coastal Studies, in Massachusetts. “My guess is that the whale was just as surprised” as the rafter, she added.
