Christmas Dinosaur 🦖: Oviraptor

1  2019-12-25 by Cdace

Merry Christmas

 Oviraptor is a dinosaur which lived around 75 million years ago during the late Cretaceous Period. This small dinosaur was first discovered in 1924 in the Gobi Desert by Roy Chapman Andrews and was later described and named by Henry F. Osborn later that year. The name it was given, Oviraptor (which means “egg thief”) was thought to be a correct moniker for this dinosaur because it was found atop a pile of dinosaur eggs and scientists believed that it was in the process of stealing these eggs when it was killed and later fossilized. However, that proved to have not been correct. The eggs in which this dinosaur was found atop of is now believed to have belonged to the Oviraptor. Therefore, it wasn’t stealing them but was actually taking care of them.
 Oviraptor was about 8 feet long and weighed about 75 pounds. It walked on two legs—much like an ostrich—and had hands that each featured 3 long fingers that seemed perfect for grasping things. These dinosaurs also had a small bony crest atop their heads and had a toothless beak that was perfect for crushing things. This dinosaur’s diet probably consisted of plants, insects, small animals, seeds and fruit. It may have also have eaten other dinosaur’s eggs, and if that is the case, then it’s name may indeed be accurate.
 An interesting fact is that this dinosaur may have had feathers like a modern bird. This has not been directly proven but there is a precedent for it. Most small, meat eating dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Period did indeed have feathers. Therefore, it would be pretty surprising if Oviraptor didn’t have feathers as well.

It's the same teenager racism hate cult that MDE was all about. It's just another boring /pol/ offshoot for lonely edgelord losers.

Oviraptor is based, however the deinonychus is my favorite of the raptors.

Hell yeah. Had to do a presentation on the deinonychus when i was 9. Even drew one of its claws.

Remove the indentation before paragraphs and add an extra line break after each.

Asteroids are problematic, someone needs to address them.

1  Rentokill_boy 2019-12-25

Most dinosaurs probably looked like big retarded birds. Here's a feathered raptor

spinosaurus tooth is where it’s at

1  GeminiRocket 2019-12-25

Nice. But I hate the Spinosaurus, he wrecked the T-Rex in Jurassic Park 2.

Do you have any websites where you can find dinosaurs artefacts ? I would be even happy with a T-Rex tooth replica.

1  Cdace 2019-12-25

Legit ones are pricey I would recommend a really well done cast for 30 bucks

1  GeminiRocket 2019-12-25

Any links ? The 10$ casts I found look like great on an Australian surfer but not for display

1  Cdace 2019-12-25

Not off the top of my head. If I find something I’ll send it your way though

It's amazing how far you atheists go in your fantasy to ignore the power and grace of Allah....

1  ManBearFridge 2019-12-25

Does your church have a statue of a caveman riding a dinosaur?

1  Cdace 2019-12-25

Don’t they all?

Cdace, you've been through a lot of dinosaurs at this point. Do you believe that many of these have been incorrectly drawn, and that these depictions should include feathers?

1  Cdace 2019-12-25

Fuck feather bro

1  Tobor27 2019-12-25

Fuck scales bro
