Datos curiosos

1

Nemegtomaia was about 2 metres (7 feet) long and weighed around 40 kilograms (85 pounds). That is about as heavy as a large dog.2

2

It had no teeth. Instead, it used a short, parrot-like beak to bite and crush its food.2

3

Nemegtomaia had an enlarged first finger with a strong claw. This might have helped it grasp branches or dig.2

4

One fossil of Nemegtomaia was found sitting on a nest of eggs. The eggs were about 14 to 16 centimetres (5 to 6 inches) long.21

5

The skeleton of the nesting Nemegtomaia was damaged by skin beetles before it was buried. These beetles ate the dried skin and flesh.21

6

Nemegtomaia is the only oviraptorid with a crest on its head that belongs to the group Heyuanninae.2

7

It lived about 72 to 70 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.2

Cazamitos

Descubrimento
The first Nemegtomaia fossil was found in 1996 in the Nemegt Basin of Mongolia. It was named Nemegtia barsboldi in 2004, but the name was changed to Nemegtomaia in 2005 because 'Nemegtia' was already used for a tiny crustacean.21
Aínda en debate
Scientists are not sure exactly what Nemegtomaia ate. Its skull looks like that of plant-eaters, but some think it may have also eaten small animals or nuts.2
