Datos curiosos
Oviraptor had no teeth. Instead it used a horny beak to crush its food.2
The first Oviraptor fossil was found lying on top of a nest of eggs. Scientists thought it was stealing them, but later they realized it was probably protecting its own eggs.1
Oviraptor was covered in feathers. Its tail ended in a pygostyle, a bone that supported a fan of feathers.1
Oviraptor lived about 75 to 71 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1
Its arms were long and ended in three fingers with curved claws.1
The name Oviraptor means 'egg thief' because the first fossil was found with eggs. But scientists now think it was a good parent, not a thief.1

Cazamitos
