Fun Facts About Oviraptor
Oviraptor means “egg thief” – and that was a big mistake! When it was found in Mongolia in 1923 next to a nest, scientists thought it was stealing the eggs. Many years later, they realized they were its own eggs! A close relative was even found as a fossil sitting on its nest like a bird, arms spread over the eggs. Oviraptor had feathers and a toothless beak.
Fun Ideas for Your Finished Oviraptor
