Did Jonah eat the fish after he spit out on shore?
it was a whale, so likely, it just swam awayAnswerNo. We are told in the Book of Jonah that a 'great fish' swallowed him, spitting him out three days later. There is a common misconception that it was a 'whale' as this is not mentioned at all in the Hebrew scriptures, nor do whales live in the seas surrounding the area where the story of Jonah was set. Many critics of this story believe it to be fiction as it would be impossible for Jonah (or anyone else) to be swallowed by a fish like this and survive. However, there have been several well-documented cases of sailors and others swallowed either by whale sharks (the largest species of fish in the world) and other large mammals such as whales, and surviving.Therefore, as such a fish would be very large, it would be impossible for Jonah to have 'eaten' it.

What did Jonah do to GOD to be swallowed by a fish?
Originally it was the leviathan, an imaginary, giant beast of the sea.(Really giant, it covered the entire sea bed.) Since the story of Jonah is recorded in the scripture, the scripture has the answer for this.17Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. A fish is not a whale, in terms of modern scientific classification, since a whale is a mammal. However it appears unclear what the actual Hebrew word used could be referring to. Some have suggested it was a large shark. The Leviathan is a different creature, with a different Hebrew word used, and so it was not a Leviathan. In any case, it was not any kind of mythological creature, but a real existent one.
Why is the whale shark named after a whale?
Because it is big like a whale.
