High Five Facts - Oviraptor

The video provides an overview of the Oviraptor, a small dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous period found in Mongolia and China. Initially thought to be an egg thief, it was later discovered to exhibit bird-like nurturing behaviors. The Oviraptor had a toothless beak, likely ate plants and small animals, and was fast-moving. Fossils show it brooded its eggs, and a significant discovery of an embryo provided insights into its development. The Oviraptor lived in arid climates, adapting to dry conditions while incubating its eggs.
