A video of a giant whale swallowing and spitting out a man who was kayaking in the sea has become a hot topic.

Adrian Simancas, who was kayaking off Patagonia, Chile, was swallowed by a humpback whale on the 8th (local time), according to foreign media such as the New York Post.

The whale spat him out immediately. He was rescued by his father, who was filming the video just a few meters away.




Simancas thought he was being eaten by a whale"I was very sad and afraid because I thought there was nothing I could do."

The father reassured his son 'who survived from death' to stay calm.

Simancas returned to the coast in his father's kayak together to avoid hypothermia.




"Maybe it was curiosity that the whale approached me," he said.

On the other hand, whales rarely attack humans. However, it has been reported that the number of whales dying after colliding with cargo ships has increased recently.
