Carnotaurus was a predatory dinosaur that lived 70 million years ago.
It was a large theropod which lived in South America during the Upper Cretaceous between about 72 and 70 million years ago.
Although there is only one well-preserved skeleton, it is one of the best-understood theropods from the southern hemisphere.
The skeleton, found in 1984, was uncovered in the Chubut Province of Argentina.

Carnotaurus is a member of the Abelisauridae, a group of large theropods.
The abelisaurids were a family of large theropods which lived only in the ancient southern supercontinent Gondwana.
They were the dominant predators of the later Cretaceous of Gondwana.
They occupied the ecological niche filled by the tyrannosaurids in the northern continents.
