It is a cousin to the more famous ''[[Carnotaurus]].'' Fossils found of this Cretaceous species were first attributed to the closely related ''Majungatholus''. But, now it turns out that ''Majungasaurus'' and ''Majungatholus'' were in fact the same dinosaur. ''Majungasaurus'' is also known as a cannibal, meaning that it eats others of its species. This usually happens in series such as [[Jurassic Fight Club]] and [[Planet Dinosaur]]. {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Abelisauridae]] [[Category:Cretaceous dinosaurs]] [[Category:Dinosaurs of Africa]]
