10、 spat you out, unharmed and whole. Unfortunately, your chance of ending up in this type of situation is pretty low.In 2012 reporter Ben Shattuck read the records at the New Bedford Whaling Museum Research Library. Despite his extensive research at one of the most comprehensive whaling archives(档案),
11、he failed to find a single report of anyone ever being swallowed alive by a whale. He found plenty of reports of whalers who were bitten or injured by the creatures, and several who died after fighting with a whale, but none related to swallowing.With whales large mouths, it certainly seems possible
12、 that a whale could swallow someone whole, so why is it so unlikely? Baleen whales, or whales without teeth, are some of the largest creatures on the planet. Despite their massive size, baleen whales could never get you into their bellies thanks to their relatively small esophagus(食道). These whales
13、are designed to eat small sea creatures, and the opening in their throat is only about as large as a baske tball, so youd never make it that far.But what about toothed whales? Sperm whales eat whole seals, so you could easily fit down their throats and into their stomachs. However, once you reached
14、the first of the sperm whales four stomachs, your journey would probably end quickly. Not only would the whales stomach acid make quick work of you, but youd experience a distinct lack of air on the inside. Actually, youre more likely to get eaten or injured as you try to make it past the sperm whales sharp teeth. Plenty of whalers, have fought with sperm whales and lost their hands or lives due to these mean teeth.1、What did Ben Shattucks research in 2012 show?AMany people had been killed by whales.BOnly a single whale had swallowed people.CWhales had often been injur
