Dear Louis-Phillipe ,
It is most unlikely that you will be swallowed by a whale. Any whale capable
of fitting you into its' mouth is a baleen whale. Baleen whales do not have
teeth.
As for whales with teeth only the sperm whale could possibly fit some of you
into the mouth. In either case no whale could possibly swallow you. Their
throats are far too narrow.
The largest esophagus in any whale is a mere 5 inches in diameter.
Gustatorially yours ,
Dr. Tom Ford
