Moves his tail like a cedar? I admit it has been a while since I went to my local zoo, but hippos or elephants don't have a tail anywhere near that description. As far as a crocodile, It could be, but interesting never the less.
True, but ever seen an elephant's penis? It's HUGE. (My niece on a visit to the zoo utters “why does that elephant have six legs?”... Wasn’t sure how to explain that one) Now I cant speak for the hippo. But if it has an endowment of equal proportions I can only imagine an ancient commentator being impressed enough to make some comment to it.
