What If These Three Animals Swallowed You?

it can swallow entire gazelles turtles and even lions this is the nile crocodile the most dangerous crocodile in the world it normally preys on animals found in africa but now it's coming for you how easy would it be for this crocodile to swallow you what secrets lie in the crocodile's stomach and how would its heart help digest you this is what if and here's what would happen if you were swallowed by a crocodile if you think something like this is impossible think again crocodile attacks are more common than shark attacks and these attacks are responsible for nearly 1 000 fatalities a year so what would happen if you were one of these attacks would you be able to survive first let's get to know a little bit more about this creature who's coming after you the nile crocodile is typically found in africa but has also been seen in florida in the united states these crocodiles are incredibly aggressive and are responsible for over 300 attacks on people every year what might make it so aggressive is its size the nile crocodile can grow up to six meters long and weigh up to 550 kilograms all this combined makes it the most dangerous crocodile on earth and now it's coming to swallow you whole [Music] you'd first get attacked by the crocodile somewhere along a river and it's likely this would happen between december and may since that's the crocodile's breeding season as you're walking along the river the crocodile would stalk you waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack you probably wouldn't even notice the croc and even if you did it might be hard to get away from it as the nile croc can run up to 18 kilometers per hour on land and as it caught up to you it would strike at your leg with its massive jaw applying 3 500 kilograms of pressure this would break your leg preventing you from getting away and now the crocodile could drag you into the river where it likes to do the rest of its eating now that you're in the water with the crocodile biting into your leg it would begin to roll you around in the water this is it attempting to disorient and drown you and at this point you'd be passed out and now that you're not moving the nile croc would swallow your body whole you would pass through the crocodile's esophagus and into its stomach but wait this is a lot of food and not every animal would be able to eat something like this so how can the crocodile well the crocodile stomach is unique that's because these creatures swallow rocks to help break up their food and that's why the crocodile didn't need to chew you while you're inside the crocodile stomach you'd be smushed by all these rocks and with that your body would be broken up into smaller chunks and rocks aren't the only thing that would help the croc digest you inside the crocodile's body is a heart valve that they control with their nerves instead of this valve going to the crocodile's lungs it goes to the stomach this allows the crocodile to produce 10 times more gastric acid than most other animals over the course of a week your body would be getting crushed up by all these rocks and you'd be getting dissolved by all the stomach acid skin bones hair and all then the crocodile would poop out your remains and go hunting for its next victim so the next time you're near a swampy river watch out for crocodiles if you're not careful they can be pretty dangerous but there are some things you should be even more afraid of they're the largest snakes on earth roaming the amazon they've eaten goats deer and even crocodiles so what would happen if an anaconda tried to eat you can an anaconda really swallow a human how long would you be traveling through the snake's body and has something like this happened before this is what if and here's what would happen if you were swallowed by an anaconda believe it or not in 2014 someone was actually dumb enough to attempt this he was wearing a large bulky suit covered in pig's blood the anaconda worked for an hour wrapping its mouth around the head of the suit but it was ultimately unsuccessful in swallowing the human hole if it had been successful how would an anaconda be able to eat a full-sized adult so you happen to be wandering in the amazon rainforest and you stumble upon one of these giant anacondas green anacondas grow up to 9 meters in length and can weigh as much as 225 kilograms you might think you'd be a tasty meal to them as a small meal for an anaconda is about 18 kilograms if they were to gobble you up it would keep them satisfied for weeks but a meal over 45 kilograms like you might not be what an anaconda is most interested in due to how massive you are not to mention being taller and broader than most animals it eats you would take too long to consume this in turn would leave the anaconda vulnerable to predators for weeks if not months until it finishes digesting you but let's say it did want to eat you what would happen then well before an anaconda swallows you it would kill you first an anaconda is a constrictor snake and it kills by wrapping its body all around its prey and quickly crushing them to death with over nine thousand pounds of pressure it would be a pretty quick end for you but we all know that's not how this show works so let's assume you survived this and we get to see the entire process the anaconda would then widen its jaw to swallow you whole you won't have to worry about it chewing you up into little bits since it only has fangs used for holding its prey and luckily as opposed to other snakes the anaconda isn't venomous so its fangs won't poison and paralyze you but something you will find in the anaconda's mouth is lots and lots of saliva yeah this will be used to moisten you you know so it's easier for the anaconda to slide you down their gullet so now you're moving down the snake's esophagus as with many other animals the muscles in the esophagus will push you down the snake's body the anaconda also has the ability to move and bend its ribs to crush you even further and push you down into its stomach okay now you're in the anaconda stomach don't worry we're still keeping you alive you know to make this more fun the anaconda stomach produces powerful acids and stomach enzymes that will dissolve your skin and then eventually your bones how fast do these acids work exactly well an anaconda once dissolved an alligator's skin in just three days so your squishy fleshy skin would disappear pretty quickly your body would break down even further as you move through the snake's small intestine that's due to the liver and pancreas secreting even stronger enzymes everything besides your hair and your nails would be digested at this point and even if you were wearing some magical suit that protected you from the acid and everything else it would still be a couple of weeks before you were unceremoniously pooped out so it's likely you'd starve although something like this is incredibly unlikely just leave anacondas alone after all they aren't interested in eating you in most cases as you're just too big but don't cheer up just yet because what would come after you next would not be spooked by your size oh no no no no something is lurking in the water do you see it close calls like this happen with whales more often than you might expect and although the people in these videos got away relatively unscathed there's no denying that they were just meters away from being a whale's lunch [Music] but what would happen if they hadn't been so lucky could a human body survive being swallowed by a whale has it ever happened before [Music] this is what if and here's what would happen if you were swallowed by a whale if you've never seen a whale up close it's hard to comprehend just how monstrous they can really be to put it in perspective the blue whale is the largest animal on the planet its tongue alone weighs as much as an elephant and it can fit anywhere between 400 and 500 people in its mouth but we wouldn't have to worry about one of these guys swallowing us anytime soon because their anatomy makes it nearly impossible instead we should be more concerned with their smaller cousins sperm whales in 1891 reports emerged that a man had been swallowed by one of these whales and although he lived to tell the tale he would never be the same again according to the story james bartley was swallowed when a whale attacked his ship and he wasn't retrieved until the following day when the crew found and killed the whale they quickly brought it on board their ship and cut it open revealing an unconscious but very alive james bartley his face and arms were bleached white and he was blind all thanks to the stomach acids of the whale however as the years went by people started poking holes in this story and questioned whether james had really been swallowed by a whale i mean wouldn't the stomach acids do more damage than just bleaching his skin well with the power of science we took a closer look and we quickly discovered that if you get swallowed by a whale coming back out with shiny white skin would be the least of your worries okay so the first thing you'd have to worry about once you were swallowed would be getting shredded to pieces by the sperm whale's impressive set of teeth each tooth is approximately 20 centimeters long that's about the length of an average chef knife and whales have anywhere from 40 to 50 of these let's say you're lucky enough to make it past all of them next you'd begin your descent down the throat not only would it be dark and slimy down here but you'd also find it hard to breathe due to the lack of oxygen and an increase in methane gas as the whale's throat muscles constricted in and out to help force you down you'd also start to feel hydrochloric acid beginning to eat away at your skin i know what you're thinking we just got into this whale and james bartley's story already seems pretty fishy well you're not wrong but what would be the fun in stopping now so next you'd be dropped into the first and largest of the whale's four stomachs you'd probably be in there for a while but on the bright side you might have some light in the form of a bioluminescent squid or two being gnoshed on after your arrival sperm whales love neon flying squid you'd better enjoy this brief light show because after this you'd just be tossed from one stomach to the next with the acids breaking down almost all of your body until you're just a bunch of bones being unceremoniously ejected from the whale's anus so yeah it's pretty safe to say that there's no way you could be swallowed whole by a whale and live to tell the tale sorry james you may have been able to fool people in the 1890s but we're onto you now as vast as they are and as monstrous as they might seem to us whales actually have no interest in eating humans and if they could talk they would probably make a point of telling us that but that's a topic for another what if you
