Indosaurus was technically the first definitely named Abelisaurid known, having been uncovered and named in the 1930s, but its identity as well as the existence of Abelisaurs was not known until the discovery of the more complete Abelisaurus and Carnotaurus in the 1980s. Indosaurus remains a mysterious and poorly understood member of the family, known from scant (and some now lost) remains. The features of these bones however, suggest Indosaurus to fall in the Majungasaurinae subfamily and the depiction here is restored based on related animals such as Majungasaurus and Rajasaurus. Indosaurus was a medium-sized predator, around 5-6 meters (16-20 feet) at adult length. It's name means "Indian Lizard" which reflects the country it was found from. It lived during the Maastrichtian epoch of the Late Cretaceous.
