He was in the whale Three days and three nights. Jonah 1:17
Answer:
Due to some unfortunate translations in the King James Bible ... the originally inspired wording doesn't say Jonah was swallowed by a "whale." It says:
"...Now the Lord had PREPARED A GREAT FISH to swallow up Johah..." (Jonah 1:17).
Even Matthew's KJV use of the word "whale" is originally inspired as: "ketos" (kay'-tos) - "a huge fish."
So, while it could possibly have been a whale... it may not have been. It says that God "specially prepared" a great fish. This may have been a whale, a specially prepared accomodating fish of some other variety... or a very special great fish that never existed before (or since).
Jonah 1:17New King James Version (NKJV)
Jonah's Prayer and Deliverance17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Incidentally, this is the only sign Jesus gave the crowd at that time of His Messiahship:
Matthew 12:39-40New King James Version (NKJV)
39 But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
A full 72 hours. No matter how one choses to count, there are not 3 days and 3 nights or 72 hours between 3 PM Friday to early dark hours of Sunday morning.
According to the biblical narrative in the book of Jonah,
it was three days and three nights.
In The Bible Jonah his age is not mentioned. But he was not eaten by a whale but swallowed by the whale, for not listening to god, he was running from god to the opposite side.

Marlin and Dory were trapped in a whale, just as Jonah was trapped in a big fish.
The whale spat Jonah out on dry land.
Jonah was in the whale three days and three nights.Jonah 1:17"Now 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."

Jonah. God told him to go to Ninevah and preach but Jonah ran from God, he boarded a ship bound for a far away place so God sent a storm and Jonah was thrown overboard. It wasn't Jonah's time to die so god sent a whale to swallow Jonah, Jonah spent three days inside the whale praying to God for forgiveness so God had the whale spit Jonah onto shore and Jonah went to preach the gospel in Ninevah as God had commanded.
