Best Answer

Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are too big to be attacked by a predatory shark, like for instance a great white. Because of this they don't have to avoid them. The only shark that might take a bite from it would be a cookiecutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis), however to a whale shark that would only be the equivalent of getting a paper cut.
