Oviraptor, Its Nest, and the Cave
The scene features an Oviraptor near its eggs in a rocky, sandy setting. The dinosaur stands just outside the cave entrance, keeping close to the nest. Sand and stone surround this prehistoric nesting place.
Nesting Facts About Oviraptor
Fossils show that some oviraptorosaurs sat over nests with their limbs spread around the eggs, much like brooding birds. Their eggs were commonly arranged in rings, leaving room for the adult at the center. These discoveries helped overturn the old idea that Oviraptor was simply an egg thief.
