Last week, a kayaker in Chile learned just how dangerous it is to get too close to feeding humpback whales during an outing off the coast of Patagonia. He and his father were out on the water in the Strait of Magellan when a breaching Humpback whale briefly swallowed him and his boat.

A young Venezuelan packrafter briefly became a modern-day Jonah when a humpback whale gulped him up in its jaws and closed its giant mouth.
