Description Just one of my interpretation of the biblical behemoth.
I made also some more medieval-traditional-looking, I will upload them soon
I imagined it like a fusion between Ambelodon, Hippo, Java rhino, with sauropod foots.

The Behemoth lived in the middle-east area and probably appeared in early Eocene 52 million years ago, surviving since the Iron Age. Its image remained in the ebraical miths and was described in the Bible.
In 2008 was discovered the first almost complete Behemoth, and was ipotized to belong to the deinocerates or brontotheres, but the discovery of the skeleton complete of the strange foots and of the inusual-dinosauroid tail left a mysterious alone around this beast.
It was erbivorous and lived near rivers, where it lived in a similar way to Hippos. When men developed iron weapons, able to trepass well its armoured skin they brought the Behemoths to the extinction.

"When men developed iron weapons, able to trepass well its armoured skin they brought the Behemoths to their extinction." I feel sorry for this poor guy.

Even with iron weapons, it seems unlikely that people could kill them that easily. I mean, think about crocodiles.

Yeah, fair point, but I guess they could use some clever traps like the ones used for mammoths

true. I'm guessing they were slow breeders then too...?

Yes, Behemoths had long times of pregnancy and the newborn took a long time to grow to a reasonably secure size. Progressive decrease of food was also significant
