Predators are animals that kill and eat other animals. In an attempt to obtain the best images of the incredible natural phenomenon, Rainer dived into the middle of a spinning ball of fish.

Suddenly dolphins shot out of the water, a white spray came out and then a whale appeared and grasped Rainer While Toperczer was filming the terrifying turn of events with his video camera, Rainer, who was trapped had first and engulfed(吞噬)in darkness inside the whales mouth, was trying to survive. Nothing can actually prepare you for the event when you end up inside the pure instinct(本能), the diver told Barcroft TV. Knowing in the whale39。s mouth, I tried to control my fear. But I was convinced that it was going to dive down and release me much deeper in the ocean. The whale quickly realized he was no sardine! As the whale turned sideways, he opened his mouth slightly to release me, and I was washed out, together with what felt like tons of water, of his mouth, recalled Rainer. Though the entire incident lasted just seconds, it felt like a year to Rainer. Still holding his underwater camera in his hand, the diver swam to his boat, where he was quickly rescued by the members of the team. The terrible adventure did not disturb Rainer for too long. After checking to ensure he had no injuries, the diver returned to the water to seek out more.（1）Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
