**So, You’ve Been Swallowed by a Whale: A Quick Recap** Imagine being sucked into a whale's mouth—dark, humid, and definitely not where you want to be. If you’re in a sperm whale, you’re in for a slippery slide down its esophagus, heading straight for the stomach. Inside, it’s a one-way trip through a series of stomach chambers filled with digestive enzymes and acids strong enough to break down just about anything—including you. As you progress through the whale's digestive system, your body is gradually reduced to its basic components, fueling the whale's next big swim. Eventually, what’s left of you is expelled into the ocean, completing your brief, but unforgettable, journey through the belly of a whale. So, while becoming whale chow is unlikely, it’s a wild, one-way ride you definitely want to avoid!
