Carnotaurus was a predatory dinosaur that lived 70 million years ago. Many people think Carnotaurus was a carnosaur related to Allosaurus. But it actually is a relative of Abelisaurus. It is best described in its part in the movie Dinosaur (2000), when two Carnotaurus were fighting with Iguanodon, Pachyrhinosaurus and other species.
