Is the biblical creature known as Leviathan still in existence?

While going through the book of Job in the Bible (Job 41), where God talked to job about this fierce creature that is said to live in the sea. I also saw a good description of the creature in the epic movie ‘’ Clash of The Titans’’, and couldn’t help but wonder if this animals still exist. I believe it existed, I know God will never boast of something he didn’t create. Have there been any archeological discoveries or findings that made reference to Leviathan? Does this creature still exist or is it in extinction?

I think that the closest you come to ancient sea creatures that are similar to the leviathan are the Elasmosaurus and Muraeonsaurus. They are undersea creatures with very long necks.

This source is about Dinosaurs and its related animals: "Worksheet 2: Favourite Dinosaur - A-Z of different dinosaurs types". Dinosaurs and Leviathan are not the same.

Isaiah 27:1- In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea.

This verse gives the Leviathan 3 characteristics: gliding(possibly even flying), coiling like a serpent(snake), monster of the sea(aquatic swimming creature).

This beast is still alive because He will strike it down in that day and that day is the day God will punish the people for their sins at the Resurrection of the dead. It is in Isaiah 26. So its still alive. There must be a few and maybe many of them. Its described like an animal in Job. It also is described to breath fire and have scales like iron if i recall correctly. Its described like a dragon. A creature proven to be real after a few years of evidence. The Japanese have found one dead already. I believe it was frozen and there is a picture released.

Now, how can they breath fire? A mix of chemicals in their throat with dislocation of the jaw.

Yes I believe. Leviathan is a sea monster referred to in the Tanakh and the Bible. The word leviathan has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. According to legend, the Leviathan was a fire-breathing creature of such immense size that the sea boils when it swims on the surface.
In Demonology, Leviathan is one of the seven princes of Hell and its gatekeeper. In modern Hebrew, it means simply "whale. In literature (such as the novel Moby-Dick) it refers to great whales. Leviathan" appears in five places in the Bible.

1. "May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan." - Bible.
2. "Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness." - Bible. etc.

The Leviathan is a creature of legend. I brought an example from the earth's past which could come somewhat close to this great creature mentioned in the bible.

I could not find any real-life version of leviathan, but you have not either.
