What would happen if you were swallowed by a whale? Sometimes our brains come up with amazing thoughts. For example, you are lying in bed, getting ready for sleep, and suddenly dozens of questions start popping into your head. What if one day you were swimming in the ocean and a whale swallowed you? For centuries, people have told stories of being inside these giant animals. Some even claimed to have managed to escape alive and well. Theoretically, an adult blue whale can accommodate not only you, but also all your friends and family members. And you can fit entirely in the whale's mouth. But the question remains.

If you stood it upright, its length would be equal to the height of a 10-story building. Despite its incredible size, the blue whale feeds on the smallest marine inhabitants - krill. An adult consumes 3,500 kg of these crustaceans per day. Due to the peculiarities of the whale's diet, its esophagus is very narrow for such a large animal: only a few centimeters in diameter. So if you somehow ended up in the mouth of a whale, it simply wouldn’t be able to swallow you. And although the sperm whale is not as large as the blue whale, its size is still impressive. Males reach 18 m in length, and females – 12 m. The sperm whale can open its mouth very wide. But even the largest individuals of this species have a fairly narrow throat. So if a sperm whale swallows you, you will barely fit in its esophagus. Trying to get out of the esophagus of a sperm whale can be compared to trying to get out of a dense, wet, mucus-covered sleeping bag made of rubber. Digestive enzymes in the stomach of a sperm whale include hydrochloric acid, and if they come into contact with human skin, they can lead to severe chemical burns, and it is unlikely that you will survive such a shock. Also, don't forget that even if you somehow manage to survive the burns, you will still remain inside the stomach. The sperm whale's stomach is multi-chambered and consists of four chambers. So getting into the stomach does not promise you salvation at all, but quite the opposite.
