Paul, adult humpback whales can reach 16 meters in length with a weight of 30 tons. Humpback whales aren't aggressive. They mainly eat crustaceans and fish. Humans aren't on the animals' menu. Their mouths are quite wide but their throats are quite narrow. There is no way a whale can swallow something as big as a human being, so the lobster fisherman wasn't swallowed deliberately. Also, the lobsterman's fears of 'He's trying to swallow me' are unfounded. This doesn't alter the fact that he had a terrible experience. Also for the above reason, the story of Jonah from the Bible cannot be true.
Good capture however!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
