It’s 11:00 am, do you know where your eggs are? Well they might be in trouble if they’re around this critter! This week, the Crew take a look at an incredibly strange dinosaur with a notorious reputation. This is Oviraptor! Hailing from Mongolia and sharing an ecosystem with the famous Velociraptor and Protoceratops, Oviraptor has almost as rich of a history as its paleobiology! From nest raider to caring mother, this feathered dinosaur has remained a mainstay of paleontology for decades. What do we actually know about this goofy animal? What gave it such a bad rap? Why do it look like that? All these questions and more will be answered in today’s episode!
