untonugganI think I have a new favorite dinosaur.
(I would also kind of love -- though I realize how difficult/potentially unlikely this would be to do --if scientists could link this oviraptosaur as a direct ancestor to a specific, current bird species. Specifically, if it was a direct ancestor to chickens. So we could all have some second thoughts about how we treat them, and maybe a new fun Jurassic Park type movie where these dinosaurs from the past built time machines and came and kicked our asses for how we treat modern avian species. OK, maybe that thought is just me, but I swear I saw a comic about it somewhere...)
