Extracto: Majungasaurus ("Mahajanga" + gr. "lagarto" = "Lagarto de Mahajanga") es un género de dinosaurios terópodos abelisáuridos que existieron a finales del período Cretácico, hace aproximadamente 80 millones de años, en el Campaniano, en lo que hoy es Madagascar. Solo una especie, M. crenatissimus, ha sido asignada. A este género solía llamárselo Majungatholus, nombre que ahora se considera sinónimo de Majungasaurus. Al igual que otros abelisáuridos, el Majungasaurus era un depredador bípedo provisto de un hocico corto. Aunque los brazos no disponen de mucha evidencia, se reconoce que estos eran muy pequeños, mientras las patas eran largas y robustas. Por otro lado, se diferencia de los demás abelisáuridos al contar con un cráneo más ancho, dotado de una textura muy áspera y endurecida en el tope del hocico, más un cuerno redondeado arriba del cráneo, el cual fue originalmente confundido con el domo de un paquicefalosauriano. También poseía más dientes en ambas mandíbulas que la mayoría de abelisáuridos.
