Masiakasaurus Skeleton: The Full Frame of Madagascar’s Oddball Predator

Step back 70 million years to the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar and meet Masiakasaurus knopfleri in all its skeletal glory! This small theropod, stretching about 6 feet from nose to tail, was built for agility and speed. Its lightweight frame, long tail, and forward-pointing teeth made it a specialized hunter, likely darting after fish, insects, and small reptiles in its island home.

Our Masiakasaurus skeleton kit captures every unique detail—from its narrow skull and saber-like teeth to its long, bird-like legs. The full skeleton shows how its unusual dental weaponry paired with a sleek, fast-moving body, making it one of the strangest and most specialized predators of the dinosaur age.
