Some think this to be a crocodile but from the description in
Job 41 this is patently absurd. It appears to ba a large fire breathing
animal of some sort. Just as the bomardier beetle has an explosion
producing mechanism, so the great sea dragon may have an explosive
producing mechanism to enable it to be a real fire breathing dragon.
—Brown-Driver-Briggs (Old Testament Hebrew-English Lexicon)
From H3867; a wreathed animal, that is, a serpent (especially the crocodile or some other large sea monster); figuratively the constellation of the dragon; also as a symbol of Babylon:—leviathan, mourning.
