He was concerned about what he called demons with big teeth that wandered in the wilderness. These demons were man eaters and looked like big reptiles. In reading that part, my conclusion was he was describing raptor or t-rex. I was leaning towards t-rex.
The interesting part is that we have a record of there being something big and vicious, that was real to those people at that time.

That depends on what you mean by "human". If you mean Homo Sapien Sapiens, modern man, then obviously not. If you mean a distant ancestor of modern humans, then, perhaps.

During the age of the dinosaurs, that area was underwater. There's no T-rex/raptor fossils in the area. Raptor-types are found elsewhere... the biggest bunch that I know about (number of bones at a site) is in New Mexico. T-Rex fossils that I know about come from the northern US and China.
It's the Book of Samuel you're looking for, and there's nothing in there about a reptile. If such things HAD been around, we would see them mentioned in the writings of other people who lived in the area... and there would be good/accurate art of the things. There would be requests to armies and kings for troops to take down the things.
