Majungasaurus

Majungasaurus, a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that roamed Madagascar during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 to 66 million years ago. Known for its robust skull and distinctive horn above the eyes, Majungasaurus was a formidable predator, reaching lengths of about 6 to 7 meters. Its teeth were adapted for tearing flesh, and fossil evidence suggests it may have even practiced cannibalism, making it one of the most intriguing and fearsome dinosaurs of its time.

Paleontologists have pieced together a detailed picture of Majungasaurus through numerous fossil finds, revealing insights into its anatomy, behavior, and ecological role. This dinosaur's unique features, such as its thickened skull bones and powerful bite, indicate a specialized hunter capable of taking down large prey. The discovery of bite marks on Majungasaurus bones attributed to its own species has sparked debates about its social dynamics and survival strategies in the ancient ecosystems of Madagascar.
