How to View Majungasaurus in 3D
Majungasaurus 3D Viewer runs a Late Cretaceous Madagascar abelisaurid with a single rounded skull-roof horn - length about 5.6-7 m typical (Size vs human uses 6.5 m), mass about 0.75-1.1 tonnes. Drag to rotate, scroll or pinch to zoom, toggle a 1.8 m person for scale, and click a body part for a fossil-sourced fact.
Open the Majungasaurus page and take the camera
Open the Majungasaurus 3D Viewer and wait for the facts panel to fill. When the status line says you can drag, orbit Majungasaurus with the pointer and zoom with the scroll wheel or a two-finger pinch. Fullscreen expands the wrapper so the controls stay visible beside the scene. After first paint a license-clean CC-BY-SA 4.0 glTF may swap in automatically from the CDN; if that load fails the page stays on the procedural theropod with zero regression.
Use the four Majungasaurus controls under the canvas
Under the Majungasaurus canvas, four controls handle view and scale:
- Fullscreen - fills the display while keeping the buttons visible
- Stop rotation / Auto-rotate - freezes or resumes auto-spin
- Idle motion - adds subtle breathing and leg sway; tap again for Stand still
- Size vs human - shows a 1.8 m person at the honest length ratio used by the viewer (6.5 m representative within the published about 5.6-7 m typical range; some larger individuals possibly over 8 m)
Read the Majungasaurus facts panel and click a body part
The Majungasaurus facts panel lists length about 5.6-7 m typical (some larger individuals possibly over 8 m; Size vs human uses 6.5 m), hip height about 2-2.5 m for a large adult, mass about 0.75-1.1 tonnes, the Late Cretaceous window about 70-66 million years ago in Madagascar (Maastrichtian, Maevarano Formation), carnivore diet with published tooth-marked Majungasaurus bones indicating feeding on the same species, and naming - material described 1896 as Megalosaurus crenatissimus; Majungasaurus named by Lavocat in 1955. Distinct from Carnotaurus (paired brow horns, South America). A short click - not a drag - on head, body, leg, or tail surfaces a short fossil fact. Soft-tissue color is an artistic reconstruction; when the CC-BY-SA 4.0 glTF by seth the yutyrannus via Printables loads, the status text notes a real model with that credit - a stylized reconstruction, not a laser scan. This model is not a fossil-accurate skeleton.
What the Majungasaurus how-to guide is not
The Majungasaurus how-to guide is a controls walkthrough for the in-browser viewer only - it does not place the model in your room (no AR), does not invent one precise length or weight beyond the disclosed about 5.6-7 m / 0.75-1.1 tonne ranges, does not claim cannibalism is unique among dinosaurs - only that published tooth marks match Majungasaurus teeth on Majungasaurus bone, does not claim soft-tissue color accuracy, does not invent game score or win states, and does not claim the optional glTF is a scientifically exact reconstruction.
