Did a whale swallow a kayaker? The truth behind the viral video
A humpback whale briefly engulfed a kayaker off the coast of Chile in an incident caught on camera. Experts say it couldn't have swallowed him even if it wanted to. The most likely explanation is that the kayaker happened to be in the way of a feeding whale. Whales can't swallow humans because their throats are much smaller than their mouths.
