Abelisaurus

Abelisaurus is a meat-eating dinosaur from Argentina that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period. Its name means "Abel's lizard". It was about 7 meters long and 2 tons weight. Dinosaurs during the Late Cretaceous were much different from their northern relatives. Large Abelisaurus looked a little like Albertosaurus from Canada. Abelisaurus was put in its own family. 

Scientists think that it was more closely related to the Ceratosaurus from the Jurassic Period. Abelisaurus was a bipedal killer machine with big jaws full of sharp teeth. Only a few pieces of its skull were found. But its body proportions were probably similar to other large theropods with the same skull size. These remains were difficult to indentify and were used to suggest that Late Cretaceous tyrannosaurids from a north were in the southern hemisphere.
