Oviraptor was a long legged Theropod with large eyes, beek with no teeth and a long bony tale. It looked as if Oviraptor and its close relatives was closly related to birds. The Scientist that described Oviraptor in 1924 thought he had found one who had been killed trying to steal the eggs of the horny planteater Protoceratops. He gave the Dino the name Oviraptor Philoceratops ("eggthief, loves horned Dinosaurs"). However, in the 1990's they discovered several Oviraptor dinosaurs with similar eggs. In one of these eggs there where tiny bones from an Oviraptor embryo. Far from stealing other dinosaurs eggs, the adults had died defending their own eggs, exactly as birds today that builds their nests on the ground. Oviraptor lived around 80 million years ago in what is Dessert Gobi in China and Mongolia today.
The Oviraptor head was short, more like a bird than a Dinosaur. The jaws formed a tall teethless beek, and the light scull was mostly made of strong bon that were exptreemly light.
