Leviathan, Behemoth, et Ziz.

Identitates opinabiles variant a creatura mythologica ad elephantem, hippopotamum, rhinocerotem, et buffalonem. Nonnulli creationistae false credunt behemoth esse sauropodum, quia eius cauda ut arbor cedrus describitur. Per rationem metaphoricam, nomen ullam entitatem maximam vel potentissimam attingere potest.
