Fossils of oviraptor embryos and fetuses are extremely rare but provide valuable information about the biology and development of these dinosaurs. From known fossils, it has been determined that oviraptors laid hard-shelled eggs and incubated them in a manner similar to modern birds, suggesting sophisticated parental behavior.
Oviraptor embryos are known to have a relatively large skull compared to the rest of the body, suggesting that they were well developed in terms of brain structure. They are also believed to have had teeth in their upper jaws, but lacked teeth in their lower jaws, suggesting a specialized diet.
Additionally, fossils of oviraptor embryos and fetuses are often found in nests of clustered eggs, suggesting that these dinosaurs may have been engaged in nest care and egg incubation. This evidence of parental behavior is remarkable and provides a unique insight into the reproductive life of dinosaurs.
