Dinosaur

From the Latin for "terrible lizard", dinosaurs were a group of large lizards that previously lived in abundance on Earth.
Paleontology tells us that dinosaurs roamed the planet from 230 million until 65 million years ago and that they are all currently extinct (except for birds, which Taxonomists consider to be descended from theropod dinosaurs).
Dinosaurs are not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, although the behemoth in Job[1] and the leviathan in Isaiah are considered by some people to represent the brachiosaurus and kronosaurus respectively. [2]
