How do dinosaurs fit into the creation account?

[mmmggg]

To whom it may concern. How do dinosaurs fit into the creation account. If God created everything which he did then being faithful to the biblical account how does one explain the creation of dinosaurs. Any explaination would be helpful. Thanks Matthew
