A groggy pair of the currently undescribed/named giant Kenyan abelisaurids wake up on a hot afternoon to find a more shaded spot to nap. To be honest I think it's a bit odd how this thing was found several years ago and still has not been properly described, considering it is not only a giant theropod but the largest? of its respective group. You would think they would jump all over describing the next "bigger than t. rex". Then again, I do not know how the process works, and I assume properly describing a species involves a lot of collaboration/review with different paleontologists and other bureaucratic-esque things that take forever.
An odd thing about abelisaurids is how they are found in basically every cretaceous/south american fossil bed. if there's a new dinosaur from one of these beds it is either a weirdly small sauropod, a bird thing, or an abelisaurid.
i based the reconstruction off of Rajasaurus, albeit with added bulk, as its skull is relatively similar to the Titanovenator reconstruction. The little twin snout horns are speculative and meant to be more like the bigger scales on an iguana's face than proper horns. To be honest I hope they give this thing a cool African name or name it after some kind of monster or god as Titanovenator is just a little eh. With big meat-eating dinosaurs the names can get a little too edgy sometimes (cough cough Tyrannotitan). The perfect name in my opinion is Carcharodontosaurus, as it sounds formidable without any basis in pop culture or being obviously and overly edgy.
