On the 14th of February 2025, BBC News headline reads, “'I felt a slimy texture brush my face': Man describes being swallowed by whale”, a report by Andrea Díaz and Ayelén Oliva.

From the article:

> The first thing kayaker Adrián Simancas noticed after he was eaten by a whale was the slime.

> “I spent a second realising I was inside the mouth of something, that maybe it had eaten me, that it could have been an orca or a sea monster," the 23-year-old told BBC Mundo.

> Adrián had started to think how he might survive inside the humpback whale "like Pinocchio" - then the creature spat him back out.
