Kayaker swallowed by whale recalls feeling ‘slimy texture’ in its mouth

The first thing the kayak Adrian Simansas noticed after he swallowed the whale.

“I spent a second, realizing that I was in my lips that maybe I ate me that it could have been an arch or a sea monster,” said a 23-year-old BBC Mundo boy.

Adrian began to think how he could survive in tea “Like a Burakio” – then the creature opened him back.

Venezuelan kayak when he felt he felt that “hit me behind, closing me and immersing me.”

His father, dal, was able to grab a short -term test on a few meters.

“I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I realized that I was in the mouth of the whale,” Adrian BBC said.

“I felt that the mucous texture cleaned my face,” he recalled, adding that everything he saw was dark -sinn and white.

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

“I needed to think what to do next.”

But for a few seconds, Adrian began to feel as if he was rising to the surface.

“I was a little afraid of whether I could squeeze my breath because I didn’t know how deep I was, and it seemed to me that I took a long time to approach.

“I came for two seconds, and finally came to the surface and realized that he hadn’t eaten me.”

At Atenby, Adrian’s father’s kayaks watched the distrust.

The couple has just crossed the Igl -Bey – down the coast from Punta -Aarenas, the southernmost city of Chile – when he heard a crash. “When I turned, I didn’t see Adrian.”

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

“Then I saw something, the body I immediately treated as most likely a whale from its size.”

Dalia corrected the camera on the back of his kayak to record uplifting waves – who captured the excellent experience of his son.

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

“I didn’t see the moment when my back appears and the fin is visible. I didn’t see it, I heard. It made me nervous,” he said.

“But later, from the video, I realized that he actually appeared in front of me in such a huge size that, if I saw him, it would be even more frightened.”

For Adrian, this experience went not only about survival – but he said he felt he had received a “second chance” when Keith spit it out.

The “unique” experience in one of the most extreme places on Earth “invited me to reflect on what I could do better by this point, and about how I can take advantage of experience and evaluate it too,” he added.

But there is a simple reason that he was able to avoid the whale so quickly, according to the wild.

According to BBC.

“They cannot physically swallow large objects such as kayaks, tires or even big fish like a tuna,” he said.

“Ultimately, Keith spit off the kayak because it is physically unwinding.”

Mr. Saba offered Keith tea, most likely entertained Adrian.

“Keith most likely fed the fish school when he unintentionally scooped the kayak with his food.

“If the whales are too fast, they can accidentally hit or cover objects on their way.”

He warned that the meeting served as an important reminder to avoid using boards, surfing boards or other silent vessels in areas where whales usually swim.

The boats used to observe whales and research should always support their engines, he added, because the noise helps whales reveal their presence.
