- Skorpiovenator was a 9 meter (30 ft) long abelisaurid that inhabited the Huincul Formation of Argentina, contemporary of the carcharodontosaurid Mapusaurus, another abelisaurid named Ilokelesia, and a giant sauropod named Argentinosaurus. This dinosaur was named not by its diet, but by its specimen being surrounded by a bustling colony of scorpions. Like some its relatives, such as Carnotaurus, Skorpiovenator had a short, deep robust skull which was typical for an abelisaurid, along with very short arms which could not be useful when fighting. Skorpiovenator makes an appearance in BBC Planet Dinosaur, claimed as a nest raider, perhaps feeding on eggs from Argentinosaurus.
