Oviraptor lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 75 to 71 million years ago. Fossil evidence indicates that this dinosaur primarily inhabited what is now Mongolia and parts of China. It is known for its distinctive beak and presumed egg-stealing behavior, although more recent studies suggest it may have been a caring parent. Oviraptor was a small, feathered theropod dinosaur that likely occupied diverse habitats, including coastal and inland environments.
