Hmmm... :drunk2:

"For the most part, whales are not able to swallow people.

In fact, most whale species have throats that are far too small to be able to swallow an adult, so they wouldn’t be able to swallow a person if they tried.

Most whales are also not equipped with teeth designed to tear apart tough flesh and bone, which would be necessary for breaking down the parts of large mammals such as humans, and some species don’t possess any teeth at all.

All species of baleen whale, for example, do not possess teeth; instead, they have baleen plates that are designed to capture tiny prey, and many of the toothed whale family are composed of smaller whales, dolphins, and porpoises that lack the type of teeth, anatomical features, hunting behavior, diet and personality necessary to hunt and kill other marine mammals.

For most of these marine mammals, small fish, squid, octopus, krill, and various crustaceans make up the basis of their diet.

While most whales cannot swallow people, one species of the whale may swallow a human under the right circumstances.

This whale is known as the sperm whale.


Unlike most whale species, sperm whales have a relatively large throat, designed to consume large prey such as giant squid.

While these whales have large throats that would make it easier to swallow a human, most of their hunting takes place several miles below the sea, up to 3,000 ft., which is much deeper than a human can swim."

I like these comments.

AOC is claiming that she was in danger from this incident as well, despite the fact that she was hundreds of miles away at the time.

She also now claims that the whale was in the right since the diver was taking its food. Pelosi wanted to know if the man was a ComDem or an American....as it would make a difference as to how she spins this one. Little Pencil Neck did not know about Jonah and has called for a special investigation. Schumer is still waiting to hear from his ChiCom overlords as to what his opinion is. Maxine Waters demands that the people "burn down" that part of the sea.

AOC blamed the whales behavior on climate change. No one is safe in the water anymore.
