The Abelisaurs, successful across South America, Africa, India, Madagascar and even some of Europe, this goofy but impressive branch of theropods is by far my favorite group of animals and i just had to work on a lineup of them. from left to right they are: pycnonemosaurus, carnotaurus, abelisaurus, ekrixinatosaurus, aucasaurus, skorpiovenator, viavenator, quilmesaurus, thanos, ilokelesia, majungasaurus, indosaurus, rajasaurus, rahiolisaurus, arcovenator, genusaurus, chenanisaurus, indosuchus, kryptops, eoabelisaurus, xenotarsosaurus, rugops and tarascosaurus.

Two Traukutitan scare off a Viavenator, for they are the true kings (or queens, whichever you prefer) of this environment. I did have a version where the sky was colored as well, but I didn’t like it much. Coloration for Traukutitan based off ducks.

Name: Viavenator exxoni

Name Meaning: Road Hunter

First Described: 2016

Described By: Filippi et al.

Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Ceratosauria, Neoceratosauria, Abelisauroidea, Abelisauria, Abelisauridae, Carnotaurinae, Brachyrostra, Furileusaura

Viavenator is a newly described Abelisaurid from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation in the Neuquén Group in Argentina, dating back to the Santonian age of the Late Cretaceous, approximately 86 to 83 million years ago. It was fairly closely related to Carnotaurus and would have been about 5.6 meters long, making it a rather large animal. It is known from a partly associated skeleton, including portions of the skull. It had vertebrae that were very restricted in their movements in the tail, allowing for a very balanced posture for it that may have helped it in running. In addition it had a very rigid backbone in general, allowing for a sort of seesaw so the animal could pivot using its pelvis, allowing for a more efficient mode of locomotion during fast movement. It was also a transitional Abelisaurid, showing the general trend towards the large and stiff body plan that would be seen in later members of the group.

More Viavenator. This one is getting closer to the gesture I'm searching for. He is also now snarfing an Alvarezsaurus; poor guy. Composition is brutal.
