    Gives me shivers just thinking about it.

    And that’s just the “kayaking in the Strait of Magellan” part, let alone getting eaten by a whale!

    Whale was like “if not food, why food shaped?” 😂

    Seriously though, that must have been terrifying…

      It all happened so fast he probably wasn’t scared, thought a wave temporarily swamped him. If you’re kayaking in water like that, you got some balls. Later, however.

        I wonder about stories like these. Whales are easily intelligent enough to play. Maybe he was just fucking with the guy? He certainly didn’t see the kayak and rider as food.

    Kayaker identified as “Person Swallowed by Whale” in interview. What a legend.

    This is crazy. Even crazier that it was all captured on camera.
