Answer: (scroll down)


























Whales.

Also, if you read the text, it is not entirely clear that the Lord gives dominion over whales to Humans.

I am going to choose to give extra significance to whales, because of these verses. Are whales the true wise creatures of the earth? An alternate group of beings with consciousness, feelings, intelligence, even dare I say, a civilization?

Perhaps that is reading too far. But it is interesting how whales are singled out.

Stop slighting the cattle. They get mentioned at least a couple of times.
