It doesn't. The dinosaurs existed millions of years before mankind. They died off around 65 million years ago.

Some dinosaurs (and pterosaurs) may have been created in the fifth era listed in Genesis, when the Bible says that God made “flying creatures” and “great sea creatures.” Perhaps other types of dinosaurs were created in the sixth epoch. The vast array of dinosaurs with their huge appetites would have been appropriate considering the abundant vegetation that evidently existed in their time.—Genesis 1:21 ( So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good." ) New KJV
When the dinosaurs had fulfilled their purpose, God ended their life. But the Bible is silent on how he did that or when. We can be sure that dinosaurs were created by Jehovah God for a purpose, even if we do not fully understand that purpose at this time. They were no mistake, no product of evolution. That they suddenly appear in the fossil record unconnected to any fossil ancestors, and also disappear without leaving connecting fossil links, is evidence against the view that such animals gradually evolved over millions of years of time. Thus, the fossil record does not support the evolution theory. Instead, it harmonizes with the Bible’s view of creative acts of God.
Some of the older translations of the Bible at times use the word “dragons” to translate the Hebrew tan·ni·nim′ (“sea creatures, ). (Ps. 74:13--" Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. 148:7-- " Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps" Isa. 27:1-- "In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea." Am. Standard Version
The term “dragon” (Greek, dra′kon) is found in the Christian Greek Scriptures. Dinosaurs were the giants of the animal kingdom, a remarkable testimony to God’s power of creation. Only our Creator knows why the dinosaurs disappeared from the earth.

The KJV Bible is the most common Bible in use today, and it was written in the 1600's.
The word dinosaur was first used in the 1800's.
In the Bible, dinosaurs are called dragon, Leviathan, Behemoth and unicorn.

The WORD "dinosaur" was first used in 1841.
That is why you don't find it in the Bible.
You can find other names for large creatures ... creatures with a tails like cedar trees, etc.
Large creatures which quite probably were what we call "dinosaurs".
behemoth, Leviathan, and tanniyn

Get real, just because that book covers many topics, what says that it has to cover ALL topics.

Look for Leviathan in Job.
Also the "beasts" of the earth can also refer to dinosaurs.

It mentions dragons, which could have meant dinosaurs. And Behemoth, which might have meant dinosaurs!
