Oviraptor Dinosaur - Feathered Theropod with Crest and Omnivorous Traits #1951085 (License: Personal Use)

The Oviraptor, meaning “egg thief,” was once mistakenly thought to steal eggs but is now understood to have been brooding its own nest. Its body is covered in protofeathers, with prominent vaned feathers on the forelimbs and tail, and a tall, cassowary-like crest adorning its skull. It possessed a toothless beak, strong hind limbs, and highly flexible hands-suggesting a versatile diet ranging from plants and mollusks to small vertebrates.
