Aren't turtles, tortises, alligators and crocodiles *dinosaurs*?
There are also persistent rumors about a creature living in the swamps and jungles of central Africa. Scientific expeditions have not yet found any specimens living or dead but they have found strange (and very large) 3 toed tracks.
I googled for *dinosaurs in the congo*.

Let's consider something else, Loch Ness in Scotland. IF the Loch Ness monster does exist it is most likely a dinosaur of some sort. To many people have seen *something* in Loch Ness that they cant identify to totaly discredit the Loch Ness monster.
There is a lake in Canada that is not nearly as famous but has been the source of quite a few sightings of *something* in the water. Again, from the limited descriptions of eye witnesses IF there is something there it is most likely some sort of dinosaur.
The Book of Job in the Bible speaks of a creature called Leviathan.
Job, chapter 41:
Job 41:1 Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth?
Job 41:2 Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue?
Job 41:3 Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you?
Job 41:4 Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever?
Job 41:5 Will you make sport with him, as with a bird? or put him in chains for your young women?
Job 41:6 Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders?
Job 41:7 Will you put sharp-pointed irons into his skin, or fish-spears into his head?
Job 41:8 Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again!
Job 41:9 Truly, the hope of his attacker is false; he is overcome even on seeing him!
Job 41:10 He is so cruel that no one is ready to go against him. Who then is able to keep his place before me?
Job 41:11 Who ever went against me, and got the better of me? There is no one under heaven!
Job 41:12 I will not keep quiet about the parts of his body, or about his power, and the strength of his frame.
Job 41:13 Who has ever taken off his outer skin? who may come inside his inner coat of iron?
Job 41:14 Who has made open the doors of his face? Fear is round about his teeth.
Job 41:15 His back is made of lines of plates, joined tight together, one against the other, like a stamp.
Job 41:16 One is so near to the other that no air may come between them.
Job 41:17 They take a grip of one another; they are joined together, so that they may not be parted.
Job 41:18 His sneezings give out flames, and his eyes are like the eyes of the dawn.
Job 41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lights, and flames of fire are jumping up.
Job 41:20 Smoke comes out of his nose, like a pot boiling on the fire.
Job 41:21 His breath puts fire to coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
Job 41:22 Strength is in his neck, and fear goes dancing before him.
Job 41:23 The plates of his flesh are joined together, fixed, and not to be moved.
Job 41:24 His heart is as strong as a stone, hard as the lower crushing-stone.
Job 41:25 When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear.
Job 41:26 The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron.
Job 41:27 Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood.
Job 41:28 The arrow is not able to put him to flight: stones are no more to him than dry stems.
Job 41:29 A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear.
Job 41:30 Under him are sharp edges of broken pots: as if he was pulling a grain-crushing instrument over the wet earth.
Job 41:31 The deep is boiling like a pot of spices, and the sea like a perfume-vessel.
Job 41:32 After him his way is shining, so that the deep seems white.
Job 41:33 On earth there is not another like him, who is made without fear.
Job 41:34 Everything which is high goes in fear of him; he is king over all the sons of pride.
Do we know what creature Job was describing in chapter 41? Of course not. It does appear to be a fearsome creature though.
There are other passages in the Bible that speak of the creature Leviathan. There is another creature the Bible speaks of as well, Behemoth. Both creatures must have been huge and many believe they were dinosaurs of some sort.
