As if it were a Pinocchio tale, a giant humpback whale almost swallowed two women off the California coast.
Two women were calmly paddling aboard a kayak when they were surprised by the mammal that suddenly came out of the sea with its mouth open.
In the impressive videos circulating on social networks, you can see how the women remain inside the mouth of the cetacean for a few moments , while in the background cries of surprise and fright are heard, from them and from those who witness the amazing scene.
Fortunately, moments later it expels them in the middle of the sea.
Other The video was recorded with a camera carried by one of the protagonists of this story, in the clip the sea appears and suddenly a scream is heard, bubbles are seen, part of the kayak and fish, as if it were being rolled inside the the water.
Although both women surely had the shock of their lives, neither suffered injuries after their close experience with the giant mammal, they were only checked and helped by relief agencies and the witnesses present.
Although when watching the shocking video, it was inevitable to think that the humpback whale could swallow both women, the truth is that it is practically impossible for this type of animal to really devour to a human being, because the size of his throat is very small.
De In fact, it is designed to swallow small fish, so even if we are impressed with its large size, these mammals do not devour humans.
In the end, humans are more of a danger to these marine animals than they are for us, because they are even at risk because of the pollution in the oceans, coupled with illegal fishermen who try to hunt them for their meat and fat.
