(Click for a call) Thumbnail: A pair of Majungasaurus brothers awaken from their slumber, ready for the day ahead of them. Majungasaurus (/məˌdʒʌŋɡəˈsɔːrəs/; lit. 'Mahajanga lizard') is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in Madagascar from 70 to 66 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period, making it one of the last-known non-avian dinosaurs that went extinct during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. The genus contains a single species, Majungasaurus crenatissimus. This dinosaur is also called Majungatholus, a name which is considered a junior synonym of Majungasaurus. Like other abelisaurids, Majungasaurus was a bipedal predator with a short snout. Although the forelimbs are not completely known, they were very short, while the hind limbs were longer and very stocky.
If this is used, give me credit. Music: Jurassic Park === UPDATES === 20/06/26: Fixed up the background a little. === TRIVIA === If it wasn't obvious enough, the colouration + patterns were based off of gila monsters. If you look closely, you may notice some dark spots on the Majungasaurus. These are actually meant to represent the feature scales that abelisaurids such as Carnotaurus had. The thumbnail was kind of inspired by a trope in paleomedia, where Majungasaurus is always depicted cannibalizing on its own kind. I wanted to subvert this and make some art of two Majungasaurus just... well... chilling together for once.
