Collection: Majungasaurus

Abelisaurs are a type of meat-eating dinosaur known for their short snout and tall skull, which gave them a pug-like face, and their unusually small arms even when compared to other meat-eaters like T-Rex. Their skulls were also very ornate, with numerous small nobs, grooves, and pits. The most famous example of this is Carnotaurus, which also had horns over its eyes. Most Abelisaurs were about 15 feet long, weighed about 900 pounds, and were as tall as an average human. Majungasaurus is one of the largest known Abelisaurs, reaching 23 feet long and weighing over a ton! On Late Cretaceous Madagascar it was the undisputed apex predator feeding on much smaller meat eaters as well as the long neck Rapetosaurus.
