The first Oviraptor was found in the 1920s near a nest of dinosaur eggs. Scientists thought the nest belonged to a Protoceratops. They also thought the Oviraptor, whose fossil had a crushed skull, was trying to steal the eggs when it was killed by an angry Protoceratops parent and named it Oviraptor meaning “Egg Thief.” 

In the 1990s, scientists discovered a similar nest of eggs with an Oviraptor on top of it. They realized that the original Oviraptor discovered 70 years before was probably trying to protect its nest, not steal another dinosaur’s eggs.
