Although dinosaurs were so far considered cannibals, there was little evidence. However, in the rich deposits found in Madagascar, it has been proven that the Majungatholus atopus dinosaur ate at least its species. Researchers have studied the dental marks of the bones of the Majungatholus dinosaur atopus, compared them with the marks of various animal species of the time and those made by dinosaurs of the same species. However, at the moment you cannot know if that dinosaur hunted those of his species or ate them when they found them dead.
