Rajasaurus was a bipedal killer from India that lived during the Late Cretaceous. Its name means "Prince lizard". It was related to such abelisaurids as Carnotaurus and Majungasaurus. Rajasaurus was a heavy built sauropod killer which reached 8 meters long and about 4 tons. The skull was typical for abelisaurids. It was short, wide and 65 centimeters long.
The bones had been excavated in 1983 by a joint Indo-American group, counting members from the University of Michigan, University of Chicago, and the Punjab University of Northern India, working in India's Narmada valley. All we know that all abelisaurids were adapted for preying on suropods. The prey which was hunted by Rajasaurus was probably huge Titanosaurus.
