  • Although several of its relatives are well-known scientifically, Abelisaurus is known only from a single partial skull, so very little is know of the animal itself.
  • Abelisaurus (/əˌbɛlɨˈsɔrəs/; "Abel's lizard") is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur during the Late Cretaceous period (Campanian) of what is now South America. It was a bipedal carnivore that probably reached 7 to 9 meters (25 to 30 feet) in length, although it is known from only one partial skull. It was a distant relative of Ceratosaurus and a cousin to Carnotaurus.

  • It has been considered to be more closely related to theropod Ceratosaurus from the Jurassic Period. Only the skull of Abelisaurus been found, but its body proportions were probably similar to other large theropods with the same size skulls (three feet long). Carnotaurus had slender legs with the front shorter than the back. Since Carnotaurus probably was an early abelisaurid, scientists suppose that Abelisaurus also had short front limbs and slender legs. Other details of its body are unknown. The discovery of Abelisaurus is important because it shed light on many different southern-hemisphere theropods that are known only from fragmentary and puzzling material. These remains were difficutlt to identify and were occasionally used to suggest that late Cretaceous tyrannosaurids fromt the northern hemisphere were in the southern hemisphere. Now that good abelisaurid material has been discovered and described, sceintists have learned that many of those remains were abelisaurids. The possibility of southern-hemisphere tyrannosaurids is less likely.
  • Although several of its relatives are well-known scientifically, Abelisaurus is known only from a single partial skull, so very little is know of the animal itself.

Era más largo que un cocodrilo y pesaba casi tanto como un rinoceronte, el equivalente a un par de toneladas. Era más alto que una portería de fútbol y caminaba sobre sus dos musculosas patas traseras. Era capaz de moverse muy rápidamente en distancias cortas pata atacar. Al igual que el Carnotaurus, con el que seguramente estaba emparentado, sus patas delanteras eran pequeñas y le nacían muy cerca de los hombros. Usaba sus garras para acuchillar la carne de sus presas. En su alargado cráneo presentaba una gran abertura que daba ligereza a la cabeza, en relación con su tamaño, lo cual le permitía al dinosaurio moverla más fácilmente. Podía hundir sus dientes curvos y afilados en sus víctimas y con un tirón de cabeza desgarrar su carne. Observando el interior de las enormes mandíbulas, vemos que sus víctimas tenían pocas oportunidades de escapar.

It was a bipedal carnivore that probably reached 7 to 9 meters (25 to 30 feet) in length, although it is known from only one partial skull. The generic name recognizes Roberto Abel as the discoverer of the specimen, and also the former director of the provincial Museum of Cipolletti in Argentina, where the specimen is housed. It also incorporates the Greek σαυρος/sauros, meaning 'lizard'. There is one named species, A. comahuensis, which honors the Comahue region of Argentina, where the fossil was found. Both genus and species were named and described by Argentine paleontologists Jose Bonaparte and Fernando Novas in 1985, who placed it in the newly created family Abelisauridae.
