No. Sperm Whales are carnivores and feed on several species. The most notable prey species are the giant squid, the colossal squid, octopuses, and diverse fish like demersal rays, but the main part of their diet consists of medium-sized squid. Due to their sheer size, some prey may be taken incidentally while eating other items

All the whales usually eat the sharks as their normal food diet. They also even eat the killer whale or the orca.

About 80% of a sperm whale's diet is giant squid and the remaining 20% is comprised of octopus, fish, shrimp, crab and even small bottom-living sharks.
