Not by land.
But there was a Japanese fishing vessel that pulled up a rotting corpse of some kind of creature that couldn't be classified in any known family or species. They took pictures of it, but it was so rotten and stinking that they threw the parts of it overboard. (It literally fell apart on the deck of the boat) - But there a pictures of it. The skeletal carcass resembled a plesiosaurus, but it was bleached and the flesh was literally in shards.

Rick, I wouldn't use that example. Answers in Genesis revealed that they later found out it was a basking shark's skeletal carcass, not a plesiosaur, as first thought. They're a great resource but they sometimes make mistakes. AiG even have a section on their website about what arguments/pieces of 'evidence' Creationists shouldn't use to compel evolutionists etc. Simply, because they were later found to be something else.
Do you think that there are animals within the sea that cannot come to the surface because they will die

What you think about lions with wings
Save for the holy creatures surrounding God's throne, no, I don't believe winged lions exist. Also, let's stay on the topic of dragons/dinosaurs and related creatures.

It's fiction. God never created monsters. They are symbols . a "Dragon" or serpent, is symbolic of Satan. The dragon is not a literal animal , but is that man, Satan that supernatural angle/cherub ; a man. Just like the multi headed animal in Revelation 13 is Not a real living animal or creature; it is symbolic way to teach about something else . If you cant look pass the symbols them your not ever going to understand any of Christ parables.

There are full fossil remains of huge creatures throughout the world.
What animal has legs like bands of iron and a tail like a cedar?
The same being called the "chief ways of God".
"Behold now behemoth,which I Made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox" Job 40:15
Sounds like a brontosaurus to me.

Have you taken the time to look up the word in its greek or hebrew. The unicorn was a mistranslation by the translators. It should have been translated like it was in all other places it was used, as Wild Ox.
You cannot have a English only look at scriptures when they were translated from Greek and Hebrew. Some times there will be mistakes you have to spot ( just as the King James Translators said themselves in their letter to the readers ), if you follow the Bibles advice, and study to show thy self approved before God; then you'll be able to spot these and mature in God's words.
You dont want to make the mistake of compounding a error, by adding wings to the thing ; and so forth.

The Brontosaurus never existed, I think you mean the Brachiosaurus or Apatosaurus. I believe the same.

I'm pretty sure I read in the scriptures the Hebrew word is wild ox. There was a whole thread on this subject where it was documented. I would take a look at it if you can find it.

That on the other hand , actually might be a dinosaur. because of its description of having a long tail like a cedar tree. If you know anything about those trees; they are very big. Not that they existed during Jobs time, but its simply a run through of some of the things God created.
