<blockquote>Look now at the behemoth which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox. See now, his strength is in his hips and his power is in his stomach muscles. He moves his tail like a [[cedar]]; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. his bones are like beams of [[bronze]], his ribs are like bars of [[iron]]. He is the first of the ways of [[God]].</blockquote> Job 40: 15-19

Some [[Creationism|creationists]] believe that the behemoth was a [[dinosaur]]. Non-creationists suggest a rhino or elephant, although neither has a tail like a cedar tree.  It is suggested in that case that the writing was poetic.
