 This is my free coloring pages blog.

There are over 2700 drawings on this blog.

You can print the drawings for free and then color them.

Today's new drawing is of a Theropod carnivorous dinosaur

named Majungasaurus. 

Majungasaurus near a Volcano

Majungasaurus was a mid-sized Theropod dinosaur from the island of Madagascar.  Madagascar is over 70 million years old and it is the oldest island on Earth.  So Madagascar was around during the Mesozoic Era when dinos ruled the Earth.  In fact, like Hawaii, Madagascar was formed by a deep hot spot. So a drawing of Madagascar with an active volcano is accurate for 71 million years ago. Although in the present day the volcanos are either dormant or extinct.  But the hot spot is not far away. 

Majungasuarus was around 23 feet or 7 meters long but some bigger individuals may have been larger - up to 26 1/4 feet or 8 meters long.  So, the "regular-sized" Majungasaurus weighed 2400 lbs or a mass of 1100 kg.  It was the top predator of Madagascar 71 million years ago in the late Cretaceous.  

Possessing a shorter snout than most Theropods it was still a deadly killer with a very powerful bite.  It had weak teeth that got replaced very frequently.  Its arms were even proportionally smaller than T. rex arms.  Majungasaurus's arms were pretty much useless.  It had a horn on its head so it has been called "The Unicorn Dinosaur" or "The Unicorn Theropod" because the horn was high on its skull (like where a unicorn's horn is located). 

NOTE:  This drawing, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the Paleontology button and scrolling down.  New drawings are found at the bottom of the list.  But in the Paleontology list you need to scroll to the bottom of the "Mesozoic Life" section.  Below is an older drawing I did of Majungasaurus and it was posted previously on this blog.  It will be further up the list of printable Paleontology drawings.  To be honest, this older drawing probably has a longer snout than it should have.  But it is a pretty cool drawing!  Have fun coloring!!!
