Man accidently grabbed by a whale

A lobster diver suddenly found himself in the mouth of a humpback whale.

Large whales on earth feed exclusively on small sea creatures, and have baleen sheets that stop larger creatures being swallowed.

As such after diving a distance, the whale surfaced and violently shook it’s head to empty it’s mouth, and the man was pulled back into his boat.

While episodes like this might happen from time to time, whales remain animals generally without any animus towards humans. They can not eat us, and now we are not exterminating them they do not fear us.

They are, however, very large and as such can accidently hurt people if they get too close
