Kayaker, swallowed up by Whale, recalls that he feels a “thin texture” in his mouth

The first thing Kayak Adrian Simankas noticed after being eaten by whale was the mucus.

“I spent a second realizing that I was inside the mouth of something that he might have eaten me, that he could be a orc or marine monster,” the 23-year-old told the BBC Mundo.

Adrian had begun to think about how he could survive inside the humpback whale like Pinocchio – then the creature spat it back.

The Venezuelan kayak was ignited through the Magellan Strait, off the shore of Patagonian of Chile, with his father, when he felt something “hit me from behind, closing on me and sinking me.”

His father, gave, managed to capture the short -lived video or meter of videoS

“I closed my eyes and when I opened them again, I realized that I was inside the mouth of the whales,” Adrian told the BBC.

“I felt a thin texture, a brush with my face,” he recalls, adding that everything he could see was dark blue and white.

“I was wondering what I could do if it had swallowed me, since I could no longer fight to stop it,” he said.

“I had to think about what to do.”

But in seconds, Adrian began to feel as if he were rising to the surface.

“I was a little afraid if I would be able to hold my breath because I didn’t know how deep I was. I felt it took me a long time to appear.

“I got up for two seconds and finally reached the surface and realized that it didn’t eat me.”

In the kayak assassination, Adrian Dahl’s father was looking at distrust.

The couple had just moved the bay of Eagle – down the shore from Punta Arenas, the most sowing city of Chile – when he heard a crash behind him. “When I turned, I didn’t see Adrian.”

“I was worried for a second until I saw him leave the sea,” said the 49-year-old youth.

“Then I saw something, a body that I immediately interpreted as the most likely to be a whale because of its size.”

Dahl had fixed a camera in the back of his kayak to record the rising waves – which captured his son’s remarkable experience.

Looking back, Adrian – who moved with his father to Chile from Venezuela seven years ago in search of a better quality of life – was shocked to see how huge the whale was.

“I hadn’t seen the moment when the back appeared, and the blade was visible. I didn’t see it, I heard it. It upset me,” he said.

“But later with the video, I realized that it actually appeared in front of me in such a huge size that maybe if I had seen it, it would have scared me even more.”

For Adrian, the attempt was not just about survival – but he said he thought he had received a “second chance” when the whale spat it out.

The “unique” experience of one of the most latest places on Earth had invited me to think about what I could do better so far and the ways I can take advantage of the experience and appreciate it also “He added.

But there is a simple reason for him to escape the whales so quickly, according to a wildlife expert.

Humbek whales have narrow throats, “for the size of the household pipe” designed to absorb small fish and shrimp, said Brazilian environmentalist Rochd Jacobson Seba in front of the BBC.

“They physically can’t absorb large objects such as kayaks, tires or even large fish like tuna,” he said.

“In the end, the whale spit out the kayak because it was physically impossible to swallow.”

Humbek the whale may have swallowed Adrian by accident, suggested G -N Seba.

“The whale probably fed a fish school when he involuntarily heated kayak with his eating.

“When the whales appear too quickly while they feed, they can accidentally hit or swallowed objects on their way.”

He warned that the meeting served as an “important reminder” to avoid the use of boards, surfers or other quiet vessels in areas where whales usually swim.

The boats used to monitor whales and research should always keep their engines, he added as the noise helps the whales to find their presence.
