Erich Hoyt

researcher

Erich Hoyt is a prominent marine biologist and a researcher at the Whale and Dolphin Conservation in the UK, known for his extensive work on the behavior and conservation of whales and dolphins. He has contributed significantly to understanding marine mammals, including their interactions with humans, and has often provided insights into unusual incidents involving these creatures. Hoyt's expertise was highlighted in a recent incident involving a humpback whale off the coast of Chile that accidentally swallowed a kayaker, where he explained the likelihood that such encounters are coincidental and that humpback whales do not typically prey on humans.
