Ovoraptor

Ovoraptor was about 1.6 to 2 metres long and weighed around 33 to 40 kilograms.1

Ovoraptor was an omnivore, meaning it ate both plants and meat. It had a beak and no teeth, and it may have eaten hard fruits, eggs, and possibly shellfish.2

Scientists used to think Ovoraptor stole eggs, which is why it got its name meaning 'egg thief'. But later discoveries showed it was probably brooding its own eggs, not stealing them.1

Yes, Ovoraptor had feathers. Its arms were covered in long feathers, and its tail ended in a fan of feathers.1

Ovoraptor lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 85 to 75 million years ago.2

Ovoraptor fossils were found in the Djadokhta Formation in Mongolia, at a place called Bayn Dzak, also known as the Flaming Cliffs.1

Scientists don't know exactly how fast Ovoraptor could run, but it had long hindlimbs and walked on two legs, so it was probably fast.2

No, Ovoraptor had no teeth. Instead, it had a horny beak, which it used to crush hard objects.2

Yes, Ovoraptor was a small theropod dinosaur.2

Ovoraptor likely had a crest on its skull, but scientists aren't sure what it was used for. It might have been for display or to attract mates.1
