There are many species of whale from porpoises to blue whales. Whale sharks are bigger than the porpoises, dolphins, pilot whales, narwhals, beluga whales, killer whales and pygmy sperm whales with only the sperm whale of the toothed whales being larger. Of the baleen whales, the pygmy right whale and the minke whale are smaller than the whale shark but the rest are bigger.

The whale shark is the largest shark, however it is not as big as a blue whale.
Interestingly, these two titans both grow to such enormous size eating some of the smallest ocean creatures. They are filter feeders, sifting the water for such tiny morsels as plankton.
