Prettige feite

1

Masiakasaurus had forward-pointing front teeth, unlike most meat-eating dinosaurs. The first tooth in its lower jaw was angled only 10 degrees above horizontal.1

2

Its name comes from the Malagasy word 'masiaka', meaning 'vicious'. The species name 'knopfleri' honors musician Mark Knopfler, whose music inspired the expedition team.1

3

Masiakasaurus lived alongside the giant predator Majungasaurus and the long-necked Rapetosaurus in Madagascar.1

4

Scientists have found about 65% of the Masiakasaurus skeleton, making it one of the best-known noasaurid dinosaurs.1

5

A shoulder bone of one Masiakasaurus has holes that might be bite marks from Majungasaurus or from an infection.1

6

Masiakasaurus was a small theropod, only about 1.8 to 2.1 meters (5.9 to 6.9 feet) long and weighing around 20 kilograms (44 pounds).1
