Majungasaurus was a fearsome abelisaurid that ruled the island ecosystems of Late Cretaceous Madagascar. Short-snouted, deep-skulled, and thickly built, it stood apart from more familiar theropods like T. rex or Giganotosaurus. But what truly sets it apart? Direct fossil evidence of cannibalism.
This model captures Majungasaurus in all its raw power — with a rugged jaw, armor-like skull ridges, and a muscular stance built for ambushes and dominance. It was a solitary predator, likely using crushing bites and brute force rather than speed to subdue prey — or rivals.
Majungasaurus represents not only island gigantism but also the primal, opportunistic survival instincts of late Mesozoic predators. It’s a chilling reminder that nature, ancient or modern, wastes nothing.
