The bible talks about large creaters that roamed the eart prior to the flood. I will try and find the verses for you, my church had a message on it just a few weeks ago unfortuantly i was out of town.
Here is what I have found doing a quick google search

The first animals specifically mentioned as the product of this act of creation were the “great whales,” or “great sea-monsters” as most translations render the Hebrew word tannin. It is significant, however, that this same word is most frequently translated “dragon.” Evidently the term includes all large sea-creatures, even the monsters of the past that are now extinct. The frequent references to dragons in the Bible, as well as in the early records and traditions of most of the nations of antiquity, certainly cannot be shrugged off as mere fairy tales. Most probably they represent memories of dinosaurs handed down by tribal ancestors who encountered them before they became extinct.

The words large creatures and dragons are mentioned a lot in the bible. Actually here you go I found an mp3 version of the message dealing with this exactly. I haven't listened to it yet but I definatly will when I get a chance.
