dinosaur in the Bible

Job 40
15 "Look at the behemoth,
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.16 What strength he has in his loins,
what power in the muscles of his belly!17 His tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.18 His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like rods of iron.19 He ranks first among the works of God,
yet his Maker can approach him with his sword.20 The hills bring him their produce,
and all the wild animals play nearby.21 Under the lotus plants he lies,
hidden among the reeds in the marsh.22 The lotuses conceal him in their shadow;
the poplars by the stream surround him.23 When the river rages, he is not alarmed;
he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth.24 Can anyone capture him by the eyes,
or trap him and pierce his nose? -
Which feeds on grass? I'm no paleontologist but I most definitely have not seen a reptile that ate grass. Regardless, further down it's akin to a dragon. Assuredly that's possible considering animals do exploit all sorts of things (geckos with their crazy adhesive feet fibres, electric eels, etc) but where is the evidence?

Why shouldn't the Bible mention dinosaurs?
Is it because you guys believe dinos once lived alongside humans?

Dinosaur Petroglyph on Kachina Bridge
The highlight for me was seeing Kachina Bridge in Natural Bridges National Monument. This natural bridge of rock has been formed by water gouging out the softer rock beneath. It is 210 feet (64.0 meters) high and spans 206 feet (62.8 meters). We hiked down to the bottom of the valley to see it close up, and sure enough, there were a number of fading-but-still-visible petroglyphs including one of a sauropod dinosaur. The dinosaur image was in the same style as all the other petroglyphs on the rock near Kachina bridge -
Protip Go read some actual paleontology and history of life texts, pvb. You're only making yourself look silly with this dinos-alongside-humans thing.

Andya Primanda -How do you explain the Dinosaur Petroglyph on Kachina Bridge?
In general,
http//www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CH/CH710.html
There are no human fossils or artifacts found with dinosaurs, and there are no dinosaur fossils found with human fossils (except birds, which are descended from dinosaurs; out-of-place human traces such as the Paluxy footprints do not withstand examination). Furthermore, there is an approximately sixty-four-million-year gap in the fossil record when there are neither dinosaur nor human fossils. If humans and dinosaurs coexisted, traces of the two should be found in the same time places. At the very least, there should not be such a dramatic separation between them.
For the petroglyphs... the 'dinosaurs' depicted look like obsolete scientific assumption of sauropods. Read under "An Alleged Rock Carving" here
http//dinocreationistsfairytale.wordpress.com/2006/11/14/book-rebuttal-the-dinosaurs-of-eden-a-biblical-journey-through-time-part-3/I'd point towards the fossil record indicating no dinosaur fossils found in strata younger than 63 million years old, but I doubt you believe in mainstream geology.
