- The island of Madagascar has for millions of years, housed an incredibly biodiverse ecosystem that today is one of the most remarkable on earth. This was no different in the Cretaceous, where one particularly bizarre theropod genus roamed. This was Majungasaurus, the one-horned ruler of Madagascar. I hope you enjoy!

Abelisaurids are a charming bunch, they're the dinosaur version of a pittbull
Essentially! A remarkable group of animals.
Couldn’t say it better myself!
was literally thinking the same thing before looking in comments.
As someone who has 3 Staffordshire/American Pitbull mixes I'm down for this comparison
@@TensaWolf 3 dino bodyguards
The thumbnail makes it look like a marine iguana
Mehrlo Le Poot it’s photomanipulated from an image of a Marine Iguana.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed it.
It’s a baby zilla
@@daliaboduaakashfamily1360 Oh no not Zilla
It is rumoured these Dinosaurs still roam the jungles of Madagascar
There’s no weirder feeling than learning about non-avian dinosaurs while eating an avian dinosaur. Love your vids Henry, they’re very informative! Stay safe
Thank you for watching! Stay safe as well. :)
And you're a mouse
Pls no
hypocrite
Majungasourus McNuggets,
I’m love’n it!
I was just looking for a prehistoric video that I hadn’t seen, which is almost impossible and I am very happy that you uploaded. Thank you for keeping my quarantine less sad
Glad that I could fill in when there wasn't much else around! :)
-"the unicorn of dinosaurs"-
How did you do that ?
African Swine Fever thank you 🙏
codfish face well...
@@AngelaCadle you just put - on both sides of what you want to type, like this -owo- - owo -
That would be tsintaosaurus.
The moment I saw the Majungasaurus on BBC’s Dinosaur Planet, I fell in love. Ever since then, this amazing creature has never left my mind.
This is my introduction to this dinosaur too, and it is my favourite.
It's also well known on the game know as Jurassic World The Game
They are very cool animals!
I've got (or had I lost it) a disc of all the "episodes?" Idk what you'd call them but I got the majung, spino, microraptor species that I forgot the name of, all that jazz!
There is also a episode on Jurassic Fight Club about these dinosaurs. Very interesting show. If you haven't seen the show, you should check it out.
Majungasaurus or as I like to call it the "haha it looks like what kids think a dinosaur looks liOHMYGODWHYISITSOFAST"
golden comment
U made me have dyslexia :')
@Variks, The Loyal you made me accidentally pull the trigger of my revolver conveniently shooting to my head
@Variks, The Loyal
You made me accidentally hit the jug of bleach I was cleaning with onto my extremely complex Rube Goldberg machine that I use to make coffee, causing it to dump bleach in a cup and shove it down my throat.
Madagascar sure was and is an amazing place for animals. 🐾
"...looking like an animal version of a sausage" Now I know what my dog's ancestors were
I just learnt a whole lot of stuff, more then i would from school in 13 minutes, damn, kudos to you dude!
No problem, glad you learned some new things. Always seek to make these videos entertaining and educative as I can.
That was the realest looking dinosaur I ever saw in a thumbnail
The majungasuarus is definenlty one of the most unique theropods that walked the earth
Most definitely!
Yeah cuz it’s the worst carnivore in Jurassic world the game
@@cheeseycheesey3216 it's not the worst it's a common. Plus it's also the first carnivore you get and has a hybrid of Alangasaurus.
@Nikolas Lounies the game
i like how ppl are learning about majungasaurus but someone brings up jw the game wtf lmao
Henry, I love you... Someone finally made a video about my favourite dinosaur! I'm so happy! This dinosaur is not nearly shown enough in media.
Ah yes the living sausage dinosaur 😅
Yeah dude. The closest living relative is the modern dachshund
A really strange animal indeed!
It's a dachshund with a bulldog head that's been crossed with a unicorn. And we love it for its uniqueness.
@@magnagermania9311 and a reptile
I have seen a Rajasaurus narmadensis skull replica in the Indian Museum in Calcutta. This cousin of the Majungasaurus may have looked and behaved a lot like this. The Rajasaurus also had small arms and sturdy leg muscles and a short, deep skull which was crested: a conical bony projection that gave the Rajasaurus a regal appearance, as though it were wearing a crown. It's name is apt: It truly was THE KING OF THE NARMADA.
They were indeed very cool animals. :)
My wife is from Majunga :) . One day, on the way to a local village which is located about 15km from the site where they found the first “Majungasaurus”, I found a weird tibia shaped stone on the road and was thinking about bringing that in Amerca BUT my wife made fun of me suggesting that it might just be a regular white stone. I hope I didn’t toss a treasure away because it was quite heavy like a fossilized trunk. There are a lot of fossilized tree trunk there guys, especially in the west of Madagascar
Very cool! Always like to hear these stories.
Ah the cannibal of madagascar. Great video as always!
typo in the title, lmftfy: "Ma Chungus Saurus"
I kinda like how that Majungasaurus thumbnail looks like an iguana!
The image was actually modelled after a Marine Iguana, and altered to resemble this animal. :)
fascinating. i wish i could give more than one thumbs up
Or more than 1 Horn!
Not to worry. We have given you 18.
Something about that name is majestic
It sounds like something from old legends.
Majungastic
Majungasaurus has jumped up on my list of favorite dinosaurs! Love the video!
Thanks for watching! They are indeed very cool animals. :)
One horn, everyone knows the rules.
One horn Requim to rule them all
IS A UNICORN
Majungasaurus: *exists*
Another Majungasaurus: you know the rules, and so do i... SAY GOODBYE
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
@Targon of Assad you are mean
T-rex: why do I have so small arms!?
Carnotaurus and majungasaurus: *ATLEAST URS DON’T LOOK LIKE NUBS*
They would have likely had no function in their lives, aside from maybe some form of display.
majunga is a sausage with smal sausages
such a fascinating creature, i only had the impression of it that it was a cannibal before.
Well I think we now know the main villain of Madagascar 4...
Hullary Ice âge and Madagascar meet
So no ones gonna take the time appreciate how cool that thumbnail, is.?
Amazing video as always.
Thank you!
We have a lot of Madagascar plant life right here, and many rock fragments of these as drawn, so thank you for the riveting information, as it's connecting areas that touch in active taurid earth shape shifting!
I like the thumbnail picture even though studies show that many dinosaurs may have actually been birds I like how you actually made it look like today’s reptiles instead of throwing scales on it like everyone else
If I ever want to sleep and can not I will just watch this video. Works better than any video I have come across recently.
I know it's not his official name anymore, but sometimes I still refer to this guy as Majungatholus.
Kevin Norwood your a real one for knowing dinosaurs old names I’m a dinosaur enthusiast so I love memorizing facts about them
Majungasaurus don't care. Even HE don't call himself Majungasaurus. That's his white man slave name.
Jon Dunmore ?
I just recently watched a documentary one this guy and they called him a majungatholus. I was pretty confused for a second as I thought the video was newer. Apparently not haha.
Whoever disliked it probably don’t believe in dinosaurs
Probably a creationist nut, the type of person who is in their 40s-60s and protests the quarantine.
@@therublixcube3052 So in other words, could be a Trump supporter? Not all conservative agree with Trump. In fact many would chang e their vote if say a moderate like Pence would run against him. Still not much of a choice for good leadership these days.
@@hackman669 easy choice, do you want to save your Democracy?
hackman669 I’m sorry but Pence is a moderate in what realm of reality?
Wow, not closely related, but taking the tyrannosaurid 'head on legs' to the extreme.
what wonderful timing, I just had an urge to look into madagasan dinosaurs today to find a video from only a few days prior
Glad you found it!
this video was a bit of a tongue twister to make i bet, kudos
Wasn't all that bad, thankfully. :)
I love the animals that have evolved there, personally my favourite are the giant lemurs or the dwarf hippos
What’s your favourite?
The comet moth! It's sooo pretty!
Fossas
Phelsumas, aka day gecko's, are pretty sick in my opinion! Love their colours and active life style!
Pachylemur and all the chameleons there
Nicely done! Glad I could help!
Thanks again!
6:21 they breathe like monitor lizards.
Majungasaurus is soo fascinating to learn about. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
9:50 real life appearance 👍
Majungasaurus
My brain: *big chungus*
9:49 Hey, that inspiration is like one of those Iguanas from the Galápagos Islands. At least this is one of the best inspirations to give us ideas for what this & some of the other Dinosaurs might’ve looked like.
Thanks for making this video I'm doing all I can to study as I am making a reptila rescue and learning center well done and will be adding this to my subscription list!!
That majungasaurus in the thumbnail is brutally accurate
Thanks for making this interesting video on majungasaurus.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching. :)
I saw the thumbnail and thought "Wow! This looks like a majungasaurus, I wonder what animal this is"
An then I read the title
I really liked this one! And that image is just incredible! Good that your being productive under lock down. Keep up the good work!
Your videos are awesome. You deserve way more subscribers. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Majungasaurus is my another favorite dinosaur
a sausage has never been so terrifying
awesome video again! great to learn so much from all of your videos! thanks for the time and money you put into them to educate us!
Thank you for sharing. Exellent video and info.
Thanks for watching!
@@HenrythePaleoGuy I have subscibed on your Channel. I look forward to see more of your awesome videos : )
Majungasaurus: *exists*
Another Majungasaurus: you know the rules, and so do i... SAY GOODBYE
Majungasaurus: Im a cannibal
T-rex: hold my beer
Quality content very informative ... a Theropod vid series will be awesome
Fascinating,and well orated
Majungasaurus: I eat anything no matter how big.
2nd Majungasaurus: Hi cousin, how's it going today.
Majungasaurus: For me great, for you not so great.
BITE
Fantastic! Thank you!
Thank you for an enjoyable enlightening video.
Glad you enjoyed!
My favourite Abelisaurid ❤️
That registered as “Marijuana-saurus” in my mind.
“Many unique animals, many of which being found nowhere else”
Yes, that’s what unique means
@Chet Jonstun and, since he’s unique, he’s not found anywhere besides where he is
Many unique animals are found nowhere else and they are one of a kind, much unlike other kinds of animals, due to their distinctive and exclusive type. Furthermore these animals are uncommon and peculiar compared to other animals.
Unique is a relative term. The North American marsupial is unique in North America (as a marsupial), but marsupials are not unique in Australia
The more I look at the tiny arms of a lot of carnivores, the more I realise that while it looks stupid, with feathers, it actually makes a lot more sense.
Ever seen birds without feathers? A lot of the flightless ones have stupidly tiny arms.
They are indeed quite small! Many of them you can even see the claws on their remaining fingers. Majungasaurus and other abelisaurids however, have as of yet no evidence of feathers.
... and barely any evidence of arms XD
I had to, that was right there.
The horn size probably just showed maturity. That’s very common.
Great video, very good information!
Majungasaurus is definitely my favorite theropod dinosaur
A dinosaur Chanel wow thank u
When people say that the Unicron never existed I point them to this dino. XD
Bryce Collins unicorn are rhinos..... rhinosceros unicornis it’s latin name
Wonderful video as usual.
8:50 he is on extreme pain alright. lol and the dog on the back is like "not cool bruh, not cool"
Absolutely fascinating!
One fun fact about paleontology is that most dinosaurs that are found in fragments are sometimes pinned onto existing dinos that match its build the most notable example being spinosaurus egypticus, because its believed its body looked like barionyx and because no full skeleton has been uncovered the spinosuarus we see in Jurassic park 3 is actually just a stretched out barionyx
McChungasaurus is gonna be my new game tag
Majungasaures is probably one of my favourite dinosaurs
Now we just need to find his long lost friend, the "Machungusaurus"
Great stuff
1:16 The Majungasaurus was not the only one to feature impressive cranial ornamentation. 😏
Ive seen people say that there was no way in hell abelisaurids could hunt sauropods
It probably could, holding onto and strangling it's prey with a bite similarly to a tiger
Considering the gap between animals like Buffalo and lions, the likelihood that Majungasaurus was able to take down sauropods like Rapetosaurus isn't too far of a reach in the slightest.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy I agree, and I'd guess if it were to go after a subadult or adult it'd probably have no option except to go for the neck given the size difference. I think it'd be most akin to a tiger hunting water buffalo, due to the size difference and probably solitary lifestyle
@@HenrythePaleoGuy I'm a bit sceptical of the idea that Majungasaurus could and actively hunted full-grown sauropods, but I do find it possible that they preyed on juveniles or 'sub-adult' ones. A younger sauropod could have been small enough to allow a Majungasaurus to wrap its jaws around its prey and pin it and yet strong enough to require Majungasaurus to have adaptations in its jaws against torsion
Fully-grown Rapetosaurus wouldn't have been impossible to hunt, but like all predators, Majungasaurus would have gone after juvenile or weakened animals as you suggest more often than fully grown animals.
That land mass intrigues the hell out of me for some reason. For quite awhile. Love Dinosaur stuff though.
I’m getting Jurassic world the game vibes from this
I almost forgot how cool Majungasaurus was.
There are very cool animals indeed. :)
Rajasaurus: The Single Horned Ruler of India
aww the little arm
So this is what truffles turns into if she plays mahjongg
This is a good video.
I'm gonna be that guy: the "c" in "cnemial crest" (the feature on the tibia that you mentioned) is silent. So it is pronounced "nee-mial"
(5:29)
Carnotaurus: Hmm, first time?
*"Madagascar and half of India were the same many years ago. Rajsausa has been found in India. But whose attention was not much on Rajasaurus. And in the TV show of Planet dynosours, nothing has been told about this Rajasaurus dinosaur. And the majungo has been given a powerful dinosaur of this period at that time while Rajasaurus was also powerful and high."*
Is anyone gonna make a Wendigo version of this dinosaur now?
I would live to take a walk in 66 million year old Madagascar. I bet it would look so alien, well more so than it is during the end of the pleistocene.
Screw Wendigo version! How about a kaiju sized Wendigo that borrows a lot from Majungasaurus.
Wendigo version of this would just reverse the arms and legs
*You would die to take walk in 66 million year old Madagascar
Crocodilian respiration is also unidirectional. So I'd say it developed way back in the Archosauria split.
sooo, cannibal unicorn? sounds great
Pretty much!
Great video but I got 2 questions for you
1. Is it true that the Abelisaurs are a group of Ceratosaurs?
2. Is it also true that Abelisaurs thrived until the end of the Cretaceous?
1. Yes 2. Absolutely, majungasaurus thrived until the extinction event
I swear to god if a future dinosaur is named Big Chungusaurus, I’m gonna lose it
subscribed. great vid. have you done Stegosaurus?
I found this video very interesting.
Glad you think so!
At first glance I saw marijuanasaurus. I need to go to bed 🤣
Stocky build dino...
Paleontologist: I shall dub thee My-Chungus-saurus
Sigh I love being a dinosaur loving nerd anyway very interesting looking dinosaur never heard of this one definitely going to do research on this particular Dino for sure thanks for making a video on this Dino keep up the good work
I was just thinking of "majungatholus" the other day. I guess that ages me!
I also used the term "thecodonts" for too long o_o
