behemoth

"or, the elephant, as some think. [Beh?m""wth,] is probably the same as the Egyptian{ Pehemou, Pehemout,} (from P, the article,{ ehe,} a bull and{ mout, water: the hippopotamus, or river horse. It is nearly as large as the elephant; its head is enormously large, its mouth very wide, the jaws extending upwards of two feet, armed with four cutting teeth, each twelve inches long; its hide is so tough and so thick as to resist the strokes of a sabre, and is thinly covered with hair of lightish colour; its legs are three feet long; though amphibious, its hoofs, which are quadrified, are unconnected; and its tail is naked, about a foot in length, but exceedingly thick and strong. It inhabits the rivers of Africa; feeds on grass and other vegetables; moves slowly and heavily; swims dexterously; sleeps in reedy places; has a tremendous voice between the lowing of the ox and the roar of the elephant; and when irritated, will attack boats and men with fury." |
