Does this describe a dinosaur?
Job 40
15"Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16"Behold now, his strength in his loins
And his power in the muscles of his belly.
17"He bends his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18"His bones are tubes of bronze;
His limbs are like bars of iron.
19"He is the first of the ways of God;
Let his maker bring near his sword.
20"Surely the mountains bring him food,
And all the beasts of the field play there.
21"Under the lotus plants he lies down,
In the covert of the reeds and the marsh.
22"The lotus plants cover him with shade;
The willows of the brook surround him.
23"If a river rages, he is not alarmed;
He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.
24"Can anyone capture him when he is on watch,
With barbs can anyone pierce his nose?
Leviathan is in Job 41
Seems to be describing a dragon to me.

Are you aware that "Dinosaurs Ate Grass'? It was discovered when "... fossilized sauropod dung ... was analyzed. It had previously been believed that 'grasses didn't emerge until long after the dinosaurs died off," & that sauropods didn't have the type of teeth needed to eat grass. Leader fof the discovering team is Paleobotanist Caroline Stromberg.

Job 40:15-18
"Look at the behemoth,
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.
What strength he has in his loins,
what power in the muscles of his belly!
His tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.
His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like rods of iron.

Who ever said that the creatures taked about in the bible were dinosaurs? The dinosaurs were around millions of years ago.

Leviathan and Behemoth are mentioned in the Bible. We do not know what they were. Behemoth was extremely large, leviathan was a sea creature.
