Majungasaurus

Majungasaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur that roamed Madagascar around 70 to 66 million years ago. It belonged to the abelisaurid family and was one of the last dinosaurs before the mass extinction. This fierce predator had a distinct appearance with a short, deep skull and rough-textured bones.

• Lived during the Late Cretaceous period, just before dinosaurs went extinct.
• Its scientific name was once mistakenly called Majungatholus before being corrected.
• As an abelisaurid, it had strong legs and a powerful bite for hunting prey.
