A #humpbackwhale briefly swallowed a #kayaker off Chilean #Patagonia before quickly releasing him unharmed. On Saturday, Feb. 8, Adrián Simancas was kayaking with his father, Dell, in Bahía El Águila near the San Isidro Lighthouse in the Strait of Magellan when a humpback whale surfaced, engulfing Adrián and his yellow kayak for a few seconds before letting him go. Dell, just meters away, captured the moment on video while encouraging his son to stay calm. After a few seconds in the water, Adrián managed to reach his father’s kayak and was quickly assisted. Despite the scare, both returned to shore uninjured. #WorldNewsTonight#News#ABCNews#ocean
