What would happen if a whale swallowed you? The human brain is an intriguing thing. You might be lying in bed ready to go to sleep when suddenly dozens of hypotheses start popping into your head. And then one day, a terrifying thing might happen to you: Could a human survive being swallowed by a whale? For centuries, many different stories have been told about people who ended up inside these giant animals. Theoretically, an adult blue whale could hold not only you, but also your friends and family. At the very least, all of you would fit in a whale's mouth. But the question remains: Could this whale swallow you?

Standing upright, its height can be compared to that of a 10-story building. Despite their enormous size, blue whales feed on one of the smallest forms of marine life, called krill. An adult whale alone can eat 3,600 kg of these shrimp-like animals per day. But because of this diet, the blue whale's esophagus is incredibly thin for such a large animal: only a few centimeters in diameter. So, if you suddenly fell into a blue whale's mouth, the animal would not be able to swallow you. Although the sperm whale is not as large as the blue whale, its size is still impressive. Males can reach a length of 18 m and females can reach 12 m in length. Sperm whales can open their mouths very wide. But even the largest representatives of this species have a relatively narrow throat opening. That is why if a sperm whale swallowed you, you would hardly fit into its esophagus. Trying to crawl out of a whale's esophagus can be compared to trying to get out of a tight, wet, and slimy sleeping bag made of foam rubber. Digestive enzymes, including hydrochloric acid, are incredibly concentrated in the stomach. That is why if this gastric juice came into contact with human skin, it would cause severe chemical burns and the person would not survive. But do not forget that even if you somehow managed to stay alive after these burns, you would still be in a stomach chamber. In total, cetaceans have four [stomach chambers]. That would be the end of the journey for you.
