Summary

Description
English: Citipati is an oviraptorid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period. It was among the largest oviraptorids, estimated to have been around 2.5 m in length, and weighing about 80 kg. Its skull was short, and had a characteristic crest formed by the premaxilla and nasal bones. Both upper and lower jaws were toothless and developed a horny beak. Citipati is one of the best-known oviraptorids thanks to a number of well-preserved specimens, including individuals found in brooding positions atop nests of eggs. These nesting specimens have helped to solidify the link between non-avian dinosaurs and birds.
