My Take On The New Abelisaur

Well, all the new abelisaur buzz has kinda died down, but I figured I'd post about my take on it. Granted I was a little unsure of it's validity. But can you blame me? For a while all our info was coming from Devian Art and after the Horror Mouth incident, I've been very cautious about this kinda thing. But with the papers written mentioning it coming to light, I've taken quite the interest in it. I've dubbed it Titanovenator kenyanis, or the titan hunter of Kenya(Tyrannovenator was my other thought, tyrant hunter). This predator reached an estimated 36-40 ft(11-12 meters) in length. That's up to 4 ft longer than Ekrixinatosaurus, the next biggest abelisaur. Now, no weight has been given. I've estimated Ekrixinatosaurus at 4-5 tons at 33-36 ft(10-11 meters), so I estimate Titanovenator at about 5-6 or so tons. Maybe 6.5-7 tons at the most. Titanovenator sheds a lot of light on late Cretaceous Africa. This time is not very well documented in the fossil record. The presence of an apex predator shows a thriving ecosystem. If there was not enough food for a carnivore as large as this, the environment would be of poor quality. Titanovenator shows that there must have been a good variety of large herbivores, which would mean more smaller herbivores and a variety of smaller predators. Also, it makes sense that a large abelisaur lived in late Cretaceous Africa. In S. America, the abelisaurs were competing with the carcharodontosaurs and spinosaurs during the early Cretaceous. The same thing was happening in Africa. Then, in S. America, the spinosaurs and carcharodontosaurs all but went extinct during the late Cretaceous. The role of top predator was left open to the abelisaurs like Carnotaurus. In Africa, the spinosaurs and carcharodontosaurs suffered a similar fate, but we had no record of their successors. Then Titanovenator arrived and shed light on it all. That's my take on it at least. I feel that Titanovenator would have looked similar to Ekrixinatosaurus and Aucasaurus, only bigger.
