The Night Journey (17:12)
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ءَايَتَيْنِ ۖ فَمَحَوْنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَآ ءَايَةَ ٱلنَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةًۭ لِّتَبْتَغُوا۟ فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُوا۟ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِينَ وَٱلْحِسَابَ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍۢ فَصَّلْنَـٰهُ تَفْصِيلًۭا ١٢
We have made the night and the day two signs, then We made the sign of night marked by darkness and the sign of day bright, so that you may seek grace from your Lord, and that you may know how to number the years and how to compute, and We have expounded everything in detail.
[https://quran.com/17/12, Translation: T. Usmani]
The Quran mentions everything. If we have not yet found it in The Quran, it does not mean that it is not mentioned there. It simply is an indication of our own limited knowledge.
The Quran does mention the creation of reptiles.
The Quran mentions that the 'Jaan' were created before the 'Insaan'. [Surah alHijr]
The Quran mentions the 'Jinn' the category that Iblis belonged to. [Surah alKahf]
The Bible mentions that he was a serpent, and that he lost his limbs as a punishment for misleading Adam and his wife. [Genesis 3]
The following studies contain the relevant ayaat and my understanding of the history presented in The Quran:
The Creation & Emergence of Species
The Serpent & The Snake: a Clear Sign
Q15 23-50 || Q12 [Surah alHijr || Surah Yusuf]
Q17 60-70 || Q12 [Surah alIsra || Surah Yusuf]
Adam's Covenant & Expulsion: an overview
Adam's Fall in Genesis 3 in the light of The Quran
Snails, Slugs & The Devolution of Adam
According to Hadith attributed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , it is mentioned that when Adam was created, his height was about 60 cubits, that is approximately 90 feet.
Scientists tell us that from the fossils of dinosaurs, they estimate the height from a few feet to almost 90 feet. This Britannica page gives a list of the largest dinosaurs.
The Quran explains everything.
We need to contemplate and believe it.
