BEHEMOTH

The Russian for hippo
is "begemot" (except in Cyrillic) from the name "behemoth".

I knew that.
But it's more likely a protoceratops, by my reckoning, based on the same fossils found in Mongolian gold mines that inspired gryphons. Although in Hebrew it simply means "ox" (curiously, feminine plural).

I always read that as if Michael Jackson was saying it.
