On the fifth day G-d created the Big Serpents and the fish and the birds.
The Big Serpents are Leviathan and his mate - the Straight Serpent and the Crooked Serpent.
G-d realized that if they would procreate they would devour the whole world so he killed the female and froze her (other opinions - salted her) for the righteous in the World to Come. And the male He spayed and left alive.
Leviathan is so big that he can jump from the lower waters to the upper waters above the firmament and he can go to the utmost depths, i.e. to the lower depths in the lower waters and to the upper depths in the upper waters.
When Moshiach (the Messiah) comes, Leviathan will have a fight with Shor Habar - The Wild Bull (a giant bull ). Leviathan shall slaughter Shor Habar with his fins and Shor HAbar will kill Leviathan with his horns. And they will be used for the big Feast that Moshiach will make for the righteous.
