Oviraptorosaurs are a taxon of theropod dinosaurs that appeared in the early Cretaceous time and have survived until the end of the Mesozoic Era.
Physical Traits[]
Oviraptorosaurs have evolved toothless beaks, had feathers, and their diet was highly debated (although some could be omnivores, a specimen of Oviraptor was found with a lizard in it's gullet, indicating a partial carnivorous lifestyle).
Oviraptorosaurs are also known from their eggs and nests.
