Rajasaurus narmadensis was a theropod dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period, approximately 70 to 65 million years ago. This dinosaur was discovered in the Lameta Formation in the Narmada region of India, hence its name "narmadensis".
Rajasaurus belongs to the family Abelisauridae, which is a group of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs characterized by their tall and short skulls, as well as having relatively small arms compared to their bodies. Rajasaurus is estimated to have reached a length of about 9 meters and a height of about 3 meters at the hip.
One of the most distinctive features of Rajasaurus is the presence of bony ridges on top of its skull, which resemble bulges or horns. These crests, which vary in size between individuals, could have been used for display and recognition between members of the same species or for courtship and social activities.
Like other theropods, Rajasaurus was a predator, feeding on other dinosaurs and small animals that inhabited its environment. It is believed that it used its powerful jaw to bite and tear the flesh of its prey.
