Today marks the 200th anniversary of dinosaurs. Well, at least the discovery of the first one. This could be the mighty Megalosaurus or the infamous Iguanadon. The Megalosaurus was the first genus to be validly named. The word dinosaur hadn't been invented yet. I am not a hundred per cent sure why to day is Dinosaur Day, but I bet I find out in a few hours.This picture was taken sometime in 2001 at Dinosaur Land in Winchester, VA. I haven't been back to that place in twenty years, though it was even longer from my first visit. That is part of what cemented my love of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Some are easy to see, but there are ones that are harder to find.
