Oviraptors dinosaurs nesting
Oviraptor dinosaurs nesting. Artwork of two Oviraptor dinosaurs camouflaged on their nest. The fossils of this dinosaur were found in Mongolia, dating to around 75 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period. The fossils included eggs, and it is now thought that the fossilised specimen had been brooding on its nest when killed. It is a bird-like feathered dinosaur, and measured around 2 metres from head to tail

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures a rare glimpse into the hidden world of Oviraptor dinosaurs. In this illustration, two Oviraptors are skillfully camouflaged on their nest, blending seamlessly with their surroundings. These fossils were discovered in Mongolia and date back approximately 75 million years to the Cretaceous period. The find included not only the skeletal remains of these fascinating creatures but also a clutch of eggs, suggesting that one specimen had been brooding when its life was abruptly ended. With its bird-like features and measuring around 2 meters from head to tail, the Oviraptor is an intriguing example of prehistoric fauna. As we delve deeper into the history of these Asian reptiles, we uncover more about their biology and behavior. This predatory species played a vital role in the ecosystem as carnivores, utilizing camouflage as a means to survive and reproduce successfully. Through palaeontological research and artistic interpretation, this print allows us to visualize how these bipedal creatures may have appeared in their natural habitat. The intricate details showcase their feathered bodies while highlighting their predatory nature. This print from Science Photo Library offers an educational window into our planet's ancient past—a testament to both scientific discovery and artistic representation.
