Citipati means 'funeral pyre lord' in Sanskrit, named after a skeleton-like spirit in Tibetan folklore.1

One famous Citipati fossil is nicknamed 'Big Mama' because it was found sitting on a nest of eggs.1

Citipati had a pygostyle, a fused tailbone that supported a fan of feathers, just like modern birds.1

Its arms and tail were covered in long feathers that probably helped shade and protect its eggs and babies.1

Citipati was one of the largest oviraptorids, about the size of an emu, and weighed as much as a large dog.1

Scientists think Citipati may have brought small dinosaurs to its nest to feed its hatchlings.1

ጽውጽዋይ ዘፍርስ

ጽውጽዋይ: Oviraptorids like Citipati were egg thieves.

ሓቂ: The name Oviraptor means 'egg thief', but fossils show Citipati was a caring parent that brooded its own eggs, not a robber.1
