It’s actually extremely possible thst this did happen! Carnotaurus and other abelisaurids had tiny wittle hands, with extreme mobility. Since it was so small it couldn’t be used for fighting of hunting, it most likely was used for mating displays: https://t.co/aNSis2QELf

Now Carnotaurus seems the obvious choice for a abelisaur on this poster but with it's wide skull and short legs Majungasaurus takes the cake for me. It's also nice to have another animal from Madagascar in here.

Inspired by Jurassic World, 's work on the Giant Kenyan Abelisaur, and 's old piece on the guy! So exciting to see an Abelisaur enter the ring of the largest terrestrial predators!

Some general faves. Kinda conflicted between Spectrovenator or other round faced derived abelisaurs like Skorpiovenator
