Scientists recreated a dinosaur nest to solve a 70-million-year-old mystery
How oviraptors, bird-like but flightless dinosaurs, hatched their eggs has long been unclear. A new study in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution explores this question by examining oviraptor nesting behavior and hatching patterns. The model was based on Heyuannia huangi , an oviraptor species that lived between 70 and 66 million years ago in what is now China.
