Whale swallows two kayakers...then spits them back out

Twitter Two kayakers were nearly swallowed by a humpback whale while trying to go whale watching off the coast of Avila Beach, California. The whale's attack on Julie McSorley and Liz Cottriel's kayak, who miraculously escaped unharmed from the animal's blow, was recorded from the kayak itself by the two friends and other witnesses to the event.

Now, that's a wild ride, for sure.

Save the kayakers!

Is that a Titleist?

Cripes! Another case of an idiot getting too close to a wild critter. Every year up here we have dumb people who get too close to a moose or a bear. Stay away. Enjoy them, but from a distance. It takes a lot of study to get to know their habits and how they will react. Even sneaking up to get a picture of a bird on the nest is stupid. You are quite apt to cause the setting bird to abandon the nest.

Perhaps if they’d just gone to Nineveh in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened...

Yeah, Jonah said that very same thing. LOL

That’s a whale of a tale to tell their grandchildren!

They eat several kinds of fish also.

Must have been liberal women who left a bad taste in the whales mouth.

Wonder if the plastic boat saved their lives? Seems to have bitten down on the boat and then spit everything out.

A humpback’s throat is only about the diameter of a grapefruit. They couldn’t swallow a person or kayak even if they wanted to. No choice but to spit them out.

Maybe next time the kayakers will give the whales a little space… (always see people swarming them…)

Three days in there for Jonah. No video—people must not have believed him.

Every Leftist that I’ve met also leaves a bad taste in my mouth, so probably these kayakers were Leftists.

Umm no... Total bullshit on this one. The screen never went dark so they were never totally in a closed mouth. Click bait...

Save the whales!

Save those snails!

Democrats...tasted like caca.

A sperm whale definitely could swallow a man; there was an instance in 1955 of a 405-pound giant squid carcass being recovered intact from a sperm whale’s stomach. The story of James Bartley, who supposedly survived being swallowed by a sperm whale in 1891, is most likely untrue, though.

But whales like sardines!😎

You have some rather specialized knowledge! I'm listening.
