This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gimel
sea monsters ... breast - Whales and other cetaceous monsters are mammalian. Even they suckle their young; but the Jewish women in the siege, so desperate was their misery, ate theirs (Lam 4:10; Lam 2:20). Others translate, “jackals.”
ostriches - see on Job 39:14; see on Job 39:16, on their forsaking their young.
