Or the hippopotamus. Although Behemoth cannot be identified with certainty, the biblical description seems most like the hippopotamus. In ancient times it may have been even more formidable than today. In Job's day the hippopotamus was the largest known creature, was commonly found in the lower Nile River, and may also have existed in the Jordan.
