A video that went viral shows how a humpback whale accidentally swallows two women navigating in a kayak in the California sea, the Anews reported.

The video shows that kayaking in the sea should not necessarily be a pleasant experience, because whales could be on the wait.

The recording shows the exact moment the animal jumps with the intention of eating a fish shoal, at the same time swallowing the two woman, the Anews reported.

According to the people who witnessed the incident, after seeing the humpback whale swallowing two women, they immediately notified the rescue team, who then attended the affected people.

It was then determined that the two women were unharmed after the whale swallowed them for a few seconds.

The report noted that the humpback whale could not swallow the women thanks to it having a very narrow throat, which makes it impossible to eat a human being, which is also why this animal only feeds on small fishes and other types of animals that are edible for them in one bite.
