Whale sharks (a type of shark) are bigger than killer whales (actually dolphins).

Whale sharks average 25 feet (7.6 m) long, and can weigh up to 15 tons (females bigger than males).

Killer whales average 19-22 ft (5.8 to 6.7 m) for males, and 16-19 ft (4.9 to 5.8 m) for females. They can weigh anywhere from 3000-12000 lbs, with males being significantly larger than females.

It depends on the type of whale. Killer whales are not whales, but the largest dolphin. The males can grow up to 30 feet and weigh more than 6 tons. Females are smaller.

The largest whales on the planet are blue whales, growing to over 100 feet and weighting nearly 100 tons.
