What kind of whale ate Jonah?

It was not a whale. The book of Jonah clearly staes that Jonah was swallowed by a big fish, and a whale is not a fish. We are not told what sort of fish it was. It is quite conceivable that, for the time frame that the story was written in, it could have been likely that the "big fish" was in fact a whale. To many people, scientific classification and terms did not apply, and even though a whale is indeed a mammal, it swims and lives in the ocean, which could have possibly led many to believe that it was a big fish.
