Amazing. I’d at least thought he’d be scarred from the animal’s stomach acids, or die of asphyxiation.

There’s a pretty good chance no one outside of Nineveh-bound biblical figures can match Packard’s story.

Apparently this does happen now and then. Here isa video of a whale accidentally sniffing a couple of kayakers. They survived aft they were spat out.

That’s a moment neither he or the Whale will ever forget!
Good thing he wore his new Dr. Marten boots with spikes and studs.
The Whale must have thought he swallowed a porcupine.//

Humpbacks are plankton eaters. Their gullet is about the diameter of a grapefruit. No danger of him seeing digestive juices unless the whale had a bad case of acid reflux.

He didn’t actually get swallowed. Neither did James Bartley.
