well there are no species of whale called the shark whale
but some species of whales are carnivorous eg. killer whales and belugas. mostly the mid sized whales.
The larger whales don't have the speed needed to catch fish so they filter feed. so they just lazily glide through the water with their mouths open and "inhale" krill and plankton. <- this is what the whale shark does
