Carnotaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur that roamed South America around 69 to 66 million years ago. With its short snout and distinctive horns above its eyes, it belonged to a family of predators called abelisaurs. Scientists know a lot about it thanks to a single, nearly complete skeleton found in Argentina.

  • It had two small horns above its eyes, unlike most other meat-eating dinosaurs.
  • The only known skeleton was discovered in Argentina's Chubut Province in 1984.
  • It belonged to a group of short-snouted dinosaurs found only in South America.
