Megalosaurus: Two hundred years since first dinosaur officially named

It has been 200 years since the first time a dinosaur was unearthed and officially named by humans.

William Buckland was an English naturalist, who studied nature, and named the first dinosaur back in 1824.

He called it a Megalosaurus.

Since then hundreds more dinosaurs have been discovered and scientists say there are still more hiding out there.
