i hate water now [video=youtube;qoP1N0OyFic]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoP1N0OyFic[/video] [editline]4th November 2011[/editline] oh fuck this has been posted already hasn't it
I like how the seagulls dive bomb the water.
God it would be frightening to end up inside a whales mouth like that.
I wonder what would be worse, being ripped apart by a shark or swallowed whole by a whale!
[QUOTE=GreenLeaf;33124244]I wonder what would be worse, being ripped apart by a shark or swallowed whole by a whale![/QUOTE] Being swallowed whole of course! Imagine suddenly being sucked into some slimey sack where you can barely fit. Your panicking too much to move as you slowly starts to suffocate.
What was the whale's intention? Grasping for air?
The only whale capable of swallowing a human is a sperm whale. In fact, the largest thing a blue whale can swallow is a grape fruit, so unless that was a sperm whale, it's unlikely it was interested in her.
[QUOTE=General;33124328]What was the whale's intention? Grasping for air?[/QUOTE] Probably was going for the seagulls judging by their reaction. Nevermind, it was going for fish, you can see them all come up with the whale, which is why the seagulls instantly go for the water, to get the fish that were brought to the surface.
the whale didn't even come up near her
I think there was a bait ball underwater. Yeah, you can see a shitload of small fish surface with the whale.
Are you guys serious? Whales don't even have teeth per se but large comblike fibers instead. They're basically giant cows. They travel enormous distances to sift oceanic water for [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krill"]krill[/URL], which some people even call grazing. In this case it's likely the whale went for something heavier-- the small nearshore fish that went crazy over the waterline after the disturbance of the whale. Definitely not the seagulls. It probably just noticed the school of fish and went for it. Wales are incredibly docile.
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;33124212]God it would be frightening to end up inside a whales mouth like that.[/QUOTE] If I remember correctly most whales can't swallow something human sized so it would either spit you out or choke on you.
Yeah I know whales don't eat just anything.. but still they could gulp a human by accident. And that would be fucking horrible. Even if the whale choked on you.. that would be horrible!

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;33124597]the whale didn't even come up near her[/QUOTE] I guess you missed the second whale that went towards her.
