Job 41:21

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. All the representations of dragons breathing smoke and flames, found in the myths and sagas of so many countries, probably rest upon the observed fact of,team or spray streaming forth from the mouth and widely opened nostrils of the crocodile.

The steam has seemed to be smoke, and smoke has naturally suggested flame and fire.
