No. All whole numbers are integers and all integers are whole numbers.
The set of integers is the same as the set of whole numbers.
Each integer is a whole number and each whole number is an integer. So the set of all integers is the same as the set of all whole numbers. By the equivalence of sets, integers and whole numbers are the same.
