What happens if you get swallowed by a whale?

Most whales have a throat smaller than the size of the human body. Suppose you are diving and unfortunately being caught by a blue whale, you will not be torn into pieces because they have absolutely no teeth, but instead are "combs" that act like one. Sieve to filter water out, keep food inside. After whales push water out, they will use their tongue to lick all the microorganisms stuck in the filter.

In other words, you will be able to die from the pressure of two whale palate , but you will not be swallowed by them. The throat of an adult blue whale is about 10cm wide, this size is even smaller than the head of a newborn baby. In fact, with scary whales like whale sharks, their throats are so small that it is impossible to swallow those large-sized animals. The main food of the whale includes small fish and fish eggs.

The only whale with a throat large enough to swallow humans is sperm whale. However, this type of whale usually only hunts at a depth of 1000 meters below the ocean, making the encounter between human and sperm whales a rare occurrence. Until this day, there have been no reports of marine accidents involving sperm whales.

The sperm whale is washed up on the coast.

So, the only fear you should worry about when being swallowed by a whale is the force between the two palate. However, suppose you survived that bite and still in the whale's throat, you should be worried that it will spare you from the bottom of the sea until your lungs burst. According to scientists, at a depth of more than 60m, the human body will begin to show signs of poisoning with oxygen.
