Why do all Abelisaurs look like somebody ran up to them and smashed them in the face with a frying pan?  ;D

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Are we sure it's larger than the un-described African abelisaur?

No, this is just the largest described abelisaur. There's a decent chance that the Kenyan abelisaur could be somewhat larger.

They don't. Abelisaurus itself, Aucosaurus, and Rajasaurus all have longer skulls than Carnotaurus. There's no reason to assume that Pyconemosaurus had such a short skull considering it's only known from very scant remains.
