Some [[Christians]] believe that Leviathan was a [[dragon]] or [[dinosaur]] (probably a [[Plesiosaurus]]), other sources speculate that it was a [[crocodile]] or a [[whale]]. In ''[[Moby Dick]]'', the [[narrator]] Ishmael often uses the word leviathan to refer to whales.
''Leviathan'' is also the name of a book written in the seventeenth century by [[Thomas Hobbes]]. In it he reflects on the need for strong central [[government]].<ref>[httphttps://www.gutenberg.org/etext/3207 Full text of Hobbes's Leviathan]</ref>
