English: Skull diagram of Carnotaurus sastrei. Derived from , and informed by Cerroni at al 2020, Figure 1 ...
Carnotaurus was a highly specialized theropod, as seen especially in characteristics of the skull, the vertebrae and the forelimbs. [ R ] The pelvis and hind limbs, on the other hand, remained relatively conservative, resembling those of the more basal Ceratosaurus .

Studies of the skull anatomy of the most well-known species, Carnotaurus sastrei, lead to debate over what type of prey these animals hunted. Studies by Mazzetta et al. in 1998, 2004, and 2009 suggest that the jaw structure in Carnotaurus was built for swift, rather than strong, bites, with adaptations for mandibular kinesis to assist in ...
Size compared to a human. Maip is estimated to have been around 9–10 metres (30–33 ft) long in life. As such, it may be the largest megaraptorid currently known. Members of the Megaraptoridae as a whole increased in body length following the extinction of the carcharodontosaurids in the Southern Hemisphere in the early Late Cretaceous. [4]
Abelisauridae (meaning "Abel's lizards") is a family (or clade) of ceratosaurian theropod dinosaurs.Abelisaurids thrived during the Cretaceous period, on the ancient southern supercontinent of Gondwana, and today their fossil remains are found on the modern continents of Africa and South America, as well as on the Indian subcontinent and the island of Madagascar.
It is a subgroup within the theropod family Abelisauridae, a Gondwanan clade known for their thick and often horned skulls and vestigial arms. The two subfamilies of Abelisauridae are Carnotaurinae , best known from the South American Carnotaurus , and Majungasaurinae, consisting of Madagascar’s Majungasaurus and its closest relatives.
The defining feature of the second room is its centerpiece: a Carnotaurus skeleton (actually a Tyrannosaurus with a Carnotaurus skull). In the second room, at regular time intervals, the lights dim, and Bill Nye the Science Guy shares some facts and theories about the age of dinosaurs , using the globe, the paintings, and the fossil to help out ...
