Yes. In number of places in the Bible mentions creatures called leviathans. Remember, the terminology of dinosaurs didn't come around until the 19th century. Before that, they were called such as "dragons," "monsters," "leviathans."
Job 41, Isaiah 27

As far as I can tell there is no mention of dinosaurs in the bible, I personally believe that dinosaurs or something similar might have existed at one point or the other, but we humans have recovered some bones and let our imagination run wild, making dinosaurs into something they weren't. If they existed there is no doubt that they were created by God and they did not exist billions or millions of years ago,according to the bible the earth is only a couple thousand years old.

Not much is made of the dinosaurs. But the Bible doesn't mention anything about duck-billed platypi either, and those exist, so I don't really see your point.
God is the God of Man. We are His children, not the dinosaurs. So why would our story include anything about the dinosaurs?

yes they are mentioned in the bible but they are called dragons which makes sense because the word dinosaurs didn't come til like the 1950's or something. so it may appear that they were around with man. there is a book called mysteries of the bible and it explains it in full detail of the mentioning of dinosaurs in the Bible.
man back then didn't dig up dinosaur bones, so how else would they know about dinosaurs in the bible. and people who wrote the bible were probably not in the rebions where hippos were.

No mention in the BIble BEFORE man.
There are several references ALONG with mankind.
Job 40 & 41, Psalms, and Isaiah all make reference to animals that could only be dinosaurs: ("dinosaur" being a modernly coined word.)
Leviathan, Behemoth, Dragons.

Dinosaurs are God's creation. They seem to have been destroyed by some sort of world wide catastrophe because of the evidence found in New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming & Montana.

dinosaurs werent discovered then so humans didnt know about it. Therefore when humans invented their God and religion there is no mention of the dinos. This another example of how science is slowly destroying religion. Hopefully more people will open their minds and not be locked into childish beliefs of big floods other myths.

How could there be any mention of them before man when man is who wrote the bible? Kinda illogical, don't you think?
They became extinct before man. See how simple that is?

Fundies believe that man co-existed with the dinosaurs, and that biblical references to "leviathan," "behemoth" and "tanniyn" meant dinosaurs.

I'm guessing Genesis 6:4 - There were giants on the earth in those days--
