If you know, the bearded dude with the white robe,
if he ever rode on some animal back, this is it:

I'd imagine if he ever rode an animal, it would be the desert camel. But the Leviathan is even better! In Alaska there are narwhals, which are whales with a massive horn (like a unicorn). Whales have baleen instead of teeth to sieve their plankton.

Cool pic of the Leviathan!

Hey, maybe the Syfy channel will make an original movie about Leviathans vs. Narwhals. It only seems like the next logical step after Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus and Dinocroc vs. Supergator. :P

Actually, it was a donkey. Confer Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 21:1-7ff.

Anyone complaining about referencing the Bible should look at the title of the topic before saying it is out of place.

They weren't that big, they were the size of today's extant sperm whales(normal ones, not the two midget ones).
