Oviraptor (/ ˈ oʊ v ɪ r æ p t ər /; lit. ' egg thief ') is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period. The first remains were collected from the Djadokhta Formation of Mongolia in 1923 during a paleontological expedition led by Roy Chapman Andrews, and in the following year the genus and type species Oviraptor philoceratops were named by Henry ...
In contrast, eggs associated with Oviraptor are only up to 14 cm long. [10] The first oviraptorid eggs (of the genus Oviraptor, which mean "Egg thief") were found in close proximity to the remains of the ceratopsian dinosaur Protoceratops and it was assumed that the oviraptorids were preying upon the eggs of the ceratopsians. [13]
Evidence for this comes from a lizard skeleton preserved in the body cavity of Oviraptor and two baby Troodontid skulls found in a Citipati nest. Evidence in favor of a herbivorous diet includes the presence of gastroliths preserved with Caudipteryx. There are also arguments for the inclusion of mollusks in their diet.

When it leaves the nest, an Oviraptor raids it, eating one egg before fleeing with another when the troodontid returns. A Gigantoraptor suddenly attacks and eats the Saurornithoides. The Gigantoraptor then heads to compete in a breeding ritual for mates. The males use their feathers for display, a brief fight between two erupting at one point ...
