Majungasaurus was a medium-sized theropod dinosaur, measuring around 6 meters (20 feet) in length and weighing approximately 1 ton. It belonged to a group of theropods known as abelisaurids, which were characterized by their short, deep skulls and reduced forelimbs. The skull of Majungasaurus was particularly robust and had a unique shape compared to other abelisaurids.
Majungasaurus stands out for its impressive teeth—large, serrated, and curved backward much like those of today’s crocodiles. This specialized tooth structure reveals its prowess as a carnivorous predator, equipped to hunt and overpower sizable prey. Expertly designed, these teeth enabled efficient slicing of flesh and a firm grip on prey, making this fossil a captivating piece of prehistoric power.
