Can a Whale Swallow a Human Being
著者: 伊藤 翔太
First, let’s talk about the baleen whales—the big ones like blue whales and humpbacks. They have throats the size of a grapefruit. Seriously, a blue whale’s esophagus is about the diameter of a dinner plate, tops.
They’re filter feeders, which means they gulp huge mouthfuls of tiny shrimp-like creatures called krill. If you tried to slide down that pipe, you’d get stuck like a cork in a bottle. Not a fun party trick.
So no, a blue whale can’t swallow you. You’re more likely to be accidentally swatted by its tail—and even that’s pretty rare.
