Whale Swallows Kayaker, Then Spits Him Out

There's a special kind of terror that a parent feels when they see their child in sudden mortal danger.

It is never far from your thoughts.

The Guardian reports that Adrián Simancas and his father, Dell, were kayaking in the Bahía El Águila in the Strait of Magellan in southernmost Chile. Dell was recording their trip at the moment when a humpback whale swallowed his son. After a brief moment, the whale spat out the young man and his kayak.

Hypothermia was a serious danger in these frigid waters, so the two went to shore immediately. Adrián was, thankfully, unharmed.
