This is my free coloring pages blog.
This site has over 3000 coloring page drawings that I have drawn and posted for you to print and color.
Today's new drawing is of a medium-sized Theropod called Majungasaurus.
Majungasaurus the Unicorn Theropod
Majungasaurus could be called a Unicorn Theropod Dinosaur because it was a Theropod or carnivorous dinosaur. AND it DID have a horn on its snout. It weighed around 2200 lbs or 1000 kg. It was 23 feet or 7 meters long. It had a short snout and was a resident of Madagascar. It lived from 70 million years ago to around 66 MYA and so it lived to see the end of the dinosaur age. (It died off because of the meteorite that hit what is now Yucatan, Mexico.
The horn is thought to have been for sexual display, not fighting. The short snout is indicative of Albisaurids like Majungasaurus. Majungasaurus was more closely related to Albisaurids from India rather than those found in South America. Albisaurids are Theropods from the Southern Hemisphere.
The Majungasaurus is known to be a cannibal. It also fed on larger than itself Sauropods like Rapetosaurus. Rapetosaurus was a long-necked Titanosaur Sauropod, but it did not get as big as its cousins like Argentinosaurus or Patagotitan. This is probably because of some dwarfism due to island habitats having fewer resources than mainland environments. In fact, other Albisaurids from South America, like Mapusaurus, were up to 40 feet or over 12 meters long and up to almost 7 tons or around 6 metric tonnes in weight. So, if Majungasaurus had lived on the mainland, it may have been much larger.
