The Leviathan, [livyƒthƒn,] described here, has been solidly
proved by Bochart to denote the crocodile; and the description
suits no other species of amphibious animals. It is a species
of lizard, with a two-edged tail, large oblong head, small but
vivacious eyes, short legs, and triangular feet, the fore ones
having four, and the hinder ones five toes, armed with strong,
sharp claws. Its length is usually about twenty feet, and its
circumference about five feet; it has, in proportion to its
size, the largest mouth of all monsters; moves both its jaws
equally, the upper of which is armed with not less than forty,
and the under with thirty-eight sharp, strong, and massy
teeth; its voice is a loud, hollow growling, of the most
terrific description; and is furnished with a coat of mail, so
scaly and callous as to resist the force of a musket-ball in
every part, except under the belly. It is a natural
inhabitant of the Nile, and other African and Asiatic rivers;
is of enormous voracity and strength, as well as fleetness in
swimming; attacks mankind and the largest animals with the
most daring impetuosity; and when taken by means of a powerful
net, will often overturn the boats that surround it. Nothing
that it once seizes can escape; and, shaking its prey to
pieces, it is swallowed without mastication.

When a large crocodile dives to the bottom, the violent

and lakes are called seas.
