Whale Swallows Kayaker!

0:03 Caalaroka Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five Good News Stories. Did you see this video? You probably did. A guy was out kayaking and he was swallowed by a humpback whale. The video is like, whoa, what's going on there? They have it on film. This story extra speaks to me because over a winter break, I was in Antarctica. For real, I went down to Antarctica and for real I was kayaking. I could share you the photos if you want. And in those waters were humpback whale. So it's very easy for me to imagine myself being like, hey, this is kind of cool kayaking and then getting eaten by a whale. But this is five good News Stories, right, So I'm not gonna be like yeah, and then the guy died and you know, it's a horrible story. That's not how this show works. Adrian was kayaking with his father in Chile when he felt an impact on his back that knocked him out of his kayak. His father captured the video as Adrian briefly vanished into the mouth of a humpback. Adrian wasn't sure what the heck was happening until the well spit him back out on the water.

1:05 He says, at first I thought it swallowed me whole, although I didn't really know what it was. And then when I got back to the surface, I realized it was a whale. I also knew there wasn't that much danger unless it started jumping or knocked my dad off the boat, because it would be very difficult for us to get back to shore. He was not injured. He was able to reunite with Dad and get back to shore and said, when I was inside it, I remember Pinocchio, who was also swallowed by a well. Scientists at Ohio State are working with a special kind of light that it attracts microscopic organisms that coral feed on. The device is called the Underwater Zooplankton Enhancement Light Array use EELA, I guess UZALA. It's an autonomous programmable underwater light and they're working with the help of the Coral Restoration Foundation in Florida. Researchers found that the UZALA could greatly enhance local zooplankton density and increase the feeding rates of both healthy and bleach coral. When coral feed on larger quantities of zooplankton, it makes them stronger and more likely to be resilient against certain environmental threats like heat stress or ocean acidification. Andrea's leading the study and says coral reefs house one third of all marine species yet occupy less than one percent of the ocean. By improving coral health and survival rates could help reduce the time it takes for corals to grow to a size suitable for outplanning onto reefs. This would not only enhance the successive coral restoration projects, but also reduce the operating costs associated with growing and maintaining nursery corals. Kinley was born with a cleft lip, and so was her dog. Tenny. The dog was also born with a cleft lip. Kinley used to ask her mom Kimberly, while she was different from other kids.

She says that many humans with clefts adopt dogs with kleffs thelighting and their shared difference. They love that the puppies look like them. It's really special.

In Canada, experts believe that the Lincoln Memorial is sitting above a racy secret. Apparently forty five feet below the Lincoln Memorial is a sketch of a woman suspected to be a scandalous silent film star. There's a drawing of Feta Barra on the pillars of the basement of the memorial in Washington, d C. Depicting the profile of a woman with dark lipstick, dark eyebrows, dark eye makeup and a cigarette hanging from her lips. Next to the sketch the word vamp. Barra rose to fame in silent films beginning around nineteen fourteen, often playing the

She had her breakthrough role in a film called A Fool There Was, in which she played a character called the vampire, eventually shortened to vamp. Her character is the origin of the term we use today to refer to a seductive woman who exploits men. Apparently there are other sketches down there, doodles of the cartoon characters Mutt and Jeff, and a figure believed to be President Woodrow Wilson. He was in office during the construction. The drawings are suspected have been done with carpenter's pencils because everybody had them in the slot of their bib overalls. And those are five good news stories for today.
