Two whale-watchers off Avila beach had a terrifying experience when a humpback overturned their kayak and appeared to nearly swallow them. The women surfaced and shortly after, other kayakers and paddleboarders came to help them and check they had not been hurt

Whale, that was close! California kayakers nearly swallowed by humpback ► https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/05/california-kayakers-nearly-swallowed-humpback
The birds started attacking the whale like “these are called people they sometimes feed us”
So cruel to be in whales feeding area and put the whales life at risk from serious injury
K
She was swallowed whole. R.I.P
The birds are having a blast 😅
People and scientists don't realize that whales are collectively tired of us. They have they're own language and alphabet. We've only begun to understand what they are saying. But I know this. They are tired of seeing they're buddies die and know that we are responsible. Science doesn't want to admit that.🐋
Did they live? Anybody know?
Pay attention to the Seagulls
If you see a whale and lots of birds circling, stay far away, the whale is in "feeding" mode and may mistake you for food, or you may just be in its way.
That's what the lack of common sense does to someone.
My worst nightmare ever!!
My bird friends to got hype I’m sorry wish whales didn’t have to choose sides love me my nature team nature !
Well……Thanks, kind of dramatic, but, “plankton swallowers ,& eaters” : ( whales) thankfully regurgitate big (?? How big) stuff…. Anyways, what a scary episode : I KAYAK quite a bit (in one person inflatable) …….
Well, looks like they're winning every single game of 2 truths and a lie from now on.
He was with my mother in California when she was researching whales right before she died.
there’s no way they would have been swallowed! humpback whales’ esophagus is the size of a grapefruit
The girls ' fright turned out to be not tasty . spat out the tasteless fright and its source .
The Whale thought they look like yummy fish.
The worst thing is seeing the other person "reversing" the kayak instead of helping the other person! 😏😏
Oh my goodness!
Hope they are ok
Is anyone going to point out how the birds all came to together after this happened, what this means, what were they trying to do?
did the people in the kayak eat shrimp?
Even the birds was like yo bruh!!
Whale: oh my bad bruh I thought you was Jonah.
Yeah, don't boat where they are eating 🤦♂️
Back at the office: “so how was your vacation?” ,”great, been swollen by a random whale “
Its nature😊🙏
Joan, Joan of arch, is that you?
And I thought this was clickbait…
That must have cause some serious trauma to the poor whale😢
Hahahha why is this so hilarious
They definitely didn't go to Nineveh
Is there a better story to tell over a beer? “I was eaten by a whale, once..”
Poor whale i hope it wasn't hurt
skull💀
I thought whales were on of the nicest sea animals in the sea, gusse not
Pinocho 🤥
Pinnochio monstro
