Because the word "dinosaur" was only invented in 1841 by Sir Richard Owen, one would not find the word in the Bible! Instead other terms like "dragons" or "sea monsters" or even generic terms like "beasts" are used in the Bible. Also, the descriptions of behemoth and leviathan are compatible with what we know to be dinosaurs.

It mentions dragons, (which might be a reference to them), as well as unicorns and satyrs in Isaiah.
There is also a reference to Leviathan. The description makes
me think it refers to a real dragon. Not necessarily the "evil"
dragon.
There is also a reference to BEHEMOTH. Some say that's
talking about elephants. I think it's talking about dinosaurs!

Dinosaurs existed long before humans ever appeared.

Most likely because they werent looking for them, one must dig to find them. It was not a quest in which they were on at that time. As it appears most of mankind is not on the same quest as those of the holy books were.

no, why would the bible care enough about dinosaurs to mention them? the bible is about G-d's relationship with mankind and israel, not about dinosaurs. the bible also doesn't mention blue jays, that doesn't mean that blue jays never existed.

well arguably in Job, but you know what neither were pandas big deal. How does it ruin God if he forgets to mention every single thing in the universe in his book.
