Dinosaur of the Week: Oviraptor
Oviraptor is an Oviraptoridae dinosaur. It was about 2 meters long. When it was discovered there were eggs right next to it. The people who discovered it thought the eggs belonged to Protoceratops because there were a lot of protoceratops skeletons found around the area. Later, in 1993 a study was done that showed that the eggs where actually Oviraptor`s. So its name became a lie. Though now we have no idea on what it ate.
