The largest whale shark ever recorded was a colossal 14 metres (46 feet) long, bigger than some whales! The largest basking shark was 12 metres (39 feet) long, only 2 metres shorter than the whale shark, but the whale shark is much chunkier and can weigh 13,600 kilograms (30,000 pounds)!

Are whales bigger than great white sharks?

The great whales are. (Blues, Finbacks, Sperm, Greys) There are smaller whales - Minkes, for example - and a great white might be as big or bigger that one of them. Incidentally, great whites are NOT the biggest sharks. Basking sharks and the appropriately named whale sharks are bigger still. Even the biggest whale shark isn't as big as the biggest whale, though.
