I WONDER - Who Discovered The Stegosaurus? Me Pregunto - Quién Descubrió El Stegosaurus?

The transcript discusses the discovery of the Stegosaurus by Othniel Marsh in 1877, along with the Apatosaurus. Marsh initially thought the Stegosaurus's bone plates were like a roof, leading to its name, which combines Greek words for 'roof' and 'lizard'.
