The Keresh is the enormous [[deer]] of Be-Ila'i, and it has but one horn. Some of the Sages of the Talmud identify it as the legendary [[The Tahash (legendary animal)|Tahash]]. Be-Ila'i is a forest of this name according to [[Rashi]], and according to Lewysohn, Zoologie des Talmuds, V. Lewysohn, p. 70. According to Jastrow it refers to the mountains of interior Asia, v.
