@@LS-um3zq It does not have to be an "advantage", necessarily. Certain features, organs, or body parts can become redundant over time and subsequently degenerate. Abelisaurids' forelimbs were obviously on their "way out", so to speak, though the animals still happened to find at least some 'minor' use for them. Hence the massive shoulder blades and highly flexible shoulder joints. Furthermore, you asked about "any ideas".

If you don't need them, making them smaller and shorter means they take up less space, use up less energy to maintain. Majungasaurus attacked prey with a bite and hold method, making grasping arms redundant. Instead, it's torso was very muscular. The scapulae were huge, allowing for large muscles to anchor. It was min maxed into being a slow slung, bite and hold ambush predator.
Majungasaurus is one of the coolest Latin names for a dinosaur.
Majunga's Lizard?
Great video! Very good! Majungasaurus is one of my favorites!
If Carnotaurus is the speedy sausage, Majungasaurus is just a peculiar danger bratwurst.

A Paralophosaurus speciality!

Never seen this channel, but saw this comment and was like "surely they're exaggerating".
10 seconds later, I see you were not

Major the majungasaurus was a menace in Chaos Theory
MY FAVORITE DINOSAUR LES GOOOOOO
Any ideas on the evolutionary advantage these short little forearms would have to make them a feature of the species?
You've formulated the question somewhat badly.
@@daxbashir6232 Do it better then, I'm not offended.

@@LS-um3zq What might be the evolutionary advantage of these short forearms that would justify their development as a defining feature of the species?
