Actually I think there easily could've been an American abelisaur :). Just a matter of waiting for it to be discovered (hopefully soon :)) ).

Agreed.  We have a South American one..so I'm sure it's possible one made it up this far in some form.

Yup. I'm actually surprised one hasn't been discovered here already :o.

Maybe it was a mountainous species could be any number of reasons I suppose.

Very true. And by the way, considering how bizarre abelisaurids can get, just imagine how outlandish a North American species could have looked like ;). The imagination can really go wild (maybe I'll draw one some day).

That would be a neat idea !

It'd be awesome to have a sail backed abelisaur or a sail backed (like Ichthyovenator) feathered tyrannosaur,wouldn't it?  >:D

the reason why abelisaurs are not found in North America is because the separation of the continents
thats the main reason and if some reached north america they would have competed with tiranosaurs
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Not exactly, tyrannosaurs didn't really start evolving into large predators until about 87 million years ago.

I thought that there wouldn't be any more discovered outside of the Southern Hemisphere. Lots of neat discoveries this year!
Part-time genius!
