To be fair, while Oviraptor being an egg thief was based on misinterpreted evidence, it isn’t unreasonable for it to have fed on eggs on occasion. That beak could have definitely cracked open the eggs.
@@OmegaPictures318 I like how the depiction of Oviraptor as a protective parent extends to other oviraptorosaur genera, like Corythoraptor in Prehistoric Planet 2.
To be fair, these parental behaviors seem pretty similar to avian parenting today, so it stands to reason that it may be ancestral to, and therefore common among, maniraptorans in general.
👍 solid and consistent as normal.
The goat of parent hood

Another speculative Behavior I had was Oviraptors stole eggs from each other to raise of their own.
@@tranwildco1014 Neat idea is, that's been proposed before when a troodont hatchling was found in an oviraptorid nest
Great video! Always felt bad for Oviraptor getting pegged with such a terrible name
Great video can you please do a video on either Gigantoraptor or Anzu next please?
I'll add them to the list! But they will have to wait until after Christmas due to another critter in the line up
@@OmegaPictures318 nice
Omega Pictures are you G.I. Joe fan?
