In 1850 the average size reported on captured crocodiles was in excess of 25 feet. Today it is very rare to find one longer than 15 feet. In the times of Genesis animals and man lived much longer, therefore reptiles would have been much larger than today. In Job 40:15-17, he mentions the behemoth, “His bones are tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron and “He bends his tail like a cedar”. Most modern translations will tell you this is Elephant or a Hipo, but which one of these animals has a “tail like a cedar”? Something to think about.
