M is for Megalosaurus. This is it! This is the first dinosaur ever discovered. At first, people thought that the bones of the Megalosaurus were from an ancient giant horse, or an ancient giant rhinoceros or hippopotamus. Eventually people realized that these bones were from a giant reptile, a dinosaur.
