Description
species: oviraptoridrelative: oviraptor and gigantoraptor
location: Canada
length: 3 meters
status: extinct
when: 70 MYA
This odd looking dinosaur once roamed the cold nights of North-America.
Chirostenotes ("narrow hand") was the first discovered oviraptorid foundin America.
Unlike its asian cousings, chirostenotes had a long and wide beak, unlike the 'hoocked' once by oviraptor.
This omnivore had long arms and thin fingers to hold on things (eggs removing for savety, food carrying to eat elsewhere, as defence against rivals)
