Majungasaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 to 66 million years ago. It was discovered in Madagascar, an island country located off the southeastern coast of Africa. The name Majungasaurus is derived from the combination of "Majunga," which refers to the town of Mahajanga in northwestern Madagascar, where the first fossils were found, and "saurus," meaning lizard in Greek.

Majungasaurus was a medium-sized theropod dinosaur, approximately 6 meters (20 feet) long and weighing near one ton. It belonged to the Abelisaurid family, distinguished by their shortened, deep skulls and diminished forelimbs. The skull of Majungasaurus was notably robust with a distinctive shape uncommon among its relatives. Its most remarkable feature was its large, serrated teeth, curved backward much like those of modern crocodilians. This dental structure indicates that Majungasaurus was a formidable carnivore, adept at slicing through flesh and firmly grasping sizable prey.
