Rugops
Rugops (name meaning "wrinkle face") is a genus of abelisaurid dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceousperiod[97-88]in what is now Africa.
Compared to the other animals in its ecosystem, Rugopswas quite a small animal. Paleontologists have recently reduced its size from 8 meters, it was actually 6 meters long. It had a weak skull and jaw so it is unlikely thatRugops was an active hunter. It was more likely a scavenger. Like other abelisaurids, Rugops possessed very short arms. They were useless in combat but were possibly useful for counterbalancing its head.
The ever attendant Rugops has a weak jaw and skull. It was no killer. It was a natural born scavenger, living off the scraps of the highly efficient killer.
