Pictured is an Oviraptor dinosaur on display at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden in Texas. Oviraptor was a small, carnivorous, toothless Dinosaur from Mongolia. It was discovered lying over a nest of approximately fifteen eggs and thought to be an egg seizer or egg thief due to the proximity of the fossils. It was named Oviraptor which is Latin for egg seizer or egg their. Later evidence showed the specimen was actually brooding the eggs at the time of death, not preying on them. The dinosaur was small, with size up to 6.5 feet long. It lived during the Late Cretaceous Period 75 to 71 million years ago.
