Here on History Daily, every day, we get to hop in our luxury-appointed nine-speed automatic

transmission time machine and set the clock back to revisit the most exciting moments in human history.

Except that's not true. The time machine absolutely is real,

but the phrase human history is misleading. It's recorded human history, and that's a much

shorter window for exploration. The earliest story we've done is 490 BCE, the Battle of Marathon.

On today's Saturday matinee, we've selected for you an episode that will delight your inner

preschooler from the podcast I Know Dino, a show that

and even pythons. He's also known for discovering dinosaur eggs and that movie star lizard,

the velociraptor. I hope you enjoy. While you're listening, be sure to search for and follow I Know Dino.

We put a link in the show notes to make it easy for you. Hello and welcome to I Know Dino. I'm Garrett. And I'm Sabrina. And today in our 402nd episode, it's all about Roy Chapman Andrews, very famous paleontologist.

You might recognize his name from all his finds in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.

Like Velociraptor, among many others.

We also have Dinosaur of the Day, Gravatholus, and a fun fact.

All right, this one is kind of a lengthy episode, but it'll be good, I promise.

And it's pretty much all you.

Yeah, especially if you like hearing about adventurers.

So Roy Chapman-Andrews, he was an explorer, an adventurer, and a zoologist and naturalist who lived from 1884 until 1960. He died
