The whale is also a mammal, just like the tiger. The shark is a fish. The reproduction in the mammals happens through pregnancy while in the fish they have "eggs", the conception is out of the body, their breathing system is quite different and so is the digestive tube. Anyways, the differences are many, the main thing you should check is: how is a mammal different from a fish?

The main difference is that sharks are cold-blooded fish which breathe water, and whales are warmblooded aquatic mammals which breathe air. There are other minor differences. Whales and dolphins have horizontal tail fins and swim by moving them up and down. Sharks and other fish have vertical tail fins, and they swim by moving them from side to side.
