There are graphic descriptions of animals in the Bible that may be dinosaur. Behemoth is described as an immense land animal, which is believed by some to be a Sauropod.[1] Leviathan, on the other hand, is portrayed as a terrifying fire-breathing sea monster that some have suggested may be a Kronosaurus. However, more recently the the SuperCroc (Sarcosuchus) has been put forth as the most likely candidate for the Leviathan.[2]

Main Article: Leviathan

There are graphic descriptions of an animal in the Bible, called Leviathan, which is portrayed as a terrifying fire-breathing sea monster. Some believe that Leviathan is a reference to an extinct animal that was alive and known to those that lived during the days of the Old Testament. Most that hold to this view suspect it was a plesiosaur, such as the Kronosaurus. However, Dr Carl Wieland in Dragons of the Deep proposes that it was the giant armored crocodile Sarcosuchus.
