No, a humpback whale cannot swallow a human.

This cannot happen and did not happen.

I keep seeing the stories almost yearly, and few media outlets ever talk to zoologists about this.

And every YouTube comment has ppl exclaiming that this proves Jonah and the Whale.

You want to see religious people get their panties in a wad, tell folks Jonah couldn't have fit...

That’s what I said, he was just pulled under. I watched that video so many times!

Right? When people put something in their mouth and then spit it back out, they obviously didn't swallow it. I don't know why the media jumps to copying bad wording so easily.

Are you telling me the bible may have just been a story, written by man to teach the morals of the time? 😱

Aren't humpbacks baleen whales?

The video looked...at best stabilized - and I'm not sure if my kid got (whatevered) by a whale I'd be so friggin calm and keep filming so it made me wonder.
But do you think the whale really took the kid under - or was there ever a whale there at all? Digital forensics takes ⌛

I think a humpback whale can do whatever it wants.

It CAN…that doesn’t mean it SHOULD.

Their throat is as wide as the width of your hand, so unless that person was a wee fairy living under a mushroom cap - absolutely impossible to happen. Misleading headlines again!
