Abelisaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Abelisaurus was a predator of Late Cretaceous South America. A tall, strong skull with an uneven bone surface is its reconstruction’s most distinctive feature. Teeth and relationships indicate carnivory but do not reconstruct its complete prey list.

Body reconstruction requires comparison with other abelisaurids because no complete skeleton of this species is known. Short forelimbs and powerful hind legs show the group’s approximate body plan.
