With a tail like a cedar? I don’t think so.

“Elephants, Buffalo, Hippopotamus, etc.” Wrong! Read it again.What is described doesn’t roam this world today.

Elephants, Buffalo, Hippopotamus, etc. Problem with that is this line: 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar:
I don't know the answer, but it's difficult to think of a creature that has lived in what most believe is the period of man's presence on the earth that fits the description of the behemoth. Interesting thing about the book of Job is that no one knows when it was written. Some think it may be the oldest book of the Bible. Unlike most of the other books of the Old Testament, there's no reference that makes it fit into a time frame. Some think it's a folk tale. Others think it's something from way, way, back.

17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: It could still be an elephant and the tail could actually be referring to the elephant's trunk.
