       Niebla is a genus of abelisaurid dinosaur that lived in South America during the late‭ ‬Cretaceous.‭ ‬Though only known from partial remains,‭ ‬Niebla seems to have actually been quite a small abelisaurid dinosaur,‭ ‬perhaps only about half of the size of some of the larger abelisaurid dinosaurs that were also roaming around South America at the same time as Niebla.
