A hippo? Have you seen a hippo's tail?

"Behemoth, from Job 40:15-24, was a dinosaur. Job 40:17 says, "His tail sways like a cedar." Such tails only existed on dinosaurs."

Nice try.

Sigh. The bible is not a natural history textbook. Job 40:18 says that Behemoth's "bones are tubes of bronze." I don't think paleontologists are aware of any hollow-bronze-boned dinosaur species with tails that sway like cedar. I think this literally-interpreted behemoth would have had severe skeletomuscular attachment problems, among other things.

The bible is a religious book, not a scientific one.
