Have you ever heard of a mighty creature whose "scales are his pride" and "out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out"? How about an animal who "moveth his tail like a cedar"? Or what kind of images come to your mind when you read about "fiery flying serpents"?
Some might think that these were just imaginary animals a 10-year-old boy would create. But these, along with "dragons", are actually mentioned in God's true and holy Word, the Bible. Now, exactly what these fantastic creatures were that God created and placed in the Garden of Eden, along with the first man and woman, are pretty much left up to our imaginations, but they were indeed real.
Check these out (KJV):
LEVIATHAN
Job 41 chapter
Psalms 74:14
Psalms 104:26-30
Isaiah 27:1
BEHEMOTH
Job 40:15-24

Isaiah 14:29
Isaiah 30:6
DRAGON
Psalm 74:13
Isaiah 13:22
Isaiah 27:1
Jeremiah 14:6
Malachi 1:3
(These verses were taken from a list that our 10-year-old son has been compiling. If you know of any other interesting creatures mentioned in the Bible, please let him know so that he can add them to his list. Thanks... and happy hunting! )
