Dragons, Unicorns, Behemoths, and Leviathans

Was anyone else unfamiliar with the cameo of these fantastical beasts in Job? If it's common knowledge, I must have been sleeping. I felt that the language and description throughout Job, although verbally taxing, was enjoyable poetry. It was as though I were yawning from Job's woes and then woke to find everyone in the midst of some creatures created on which day? Were they made on Friday and Saturday with the rest of the beasts?
If you search these words (no Bible necessary) in Google, you will see that many others find their biblical mention quite fascinating. Some suggest that behemoths refer to dinosaurs, leviathans are equivalent to sea monsters or whales, unicorn as simply the silhouette vision of an ox, and perhaps the dragon was on holiday from China.
It makes me want to reframe my mind to really imagine the world of Homer and Odysseus' entourage of beasts, gods, goddesses, kings, queens, and the supernatural as natural. It also brings excitement to reading biblical text with a new set of eyes, which were previously disenchanted by a decade and a half of Catholic education. Perhaps I am pining after a childhood saturated in eighties fantasy and adventure films.
Thoughts?
