Abelisauridae, translating to "Abel's lizards," represents a clade of ceratosaurian theropod dinosaurs that flourished during the Cretaceous period and are frequently referred to as the Kem Kem Abelisaur. The genus Abelisaurus was first identified and described by Argentine paleontologists in 1985, marking the inaugural member of this distinct group of carnivorous theropods. Predominantly found across southern continents such as South America and Africa, Abelisaurus is characterized as a medium to large theropod. Examination of fossilized specimens from Morocco suggests these dinosaurs likely weighed around 2,000 kilograms. As basal representatives of their lineage, they coexisted alongside other prominent large theropods of their era, including Carcharodontosaurus and Spinosaurus.
