		Oviraptoridae (o-vee-rap-TOR-ih-day) is a family of Late Cretaceous oviraptorosaurs (a superfamily of Maniraptora.) Members were bipedal carnivores who closely resembled birds.
		They received their name because some specimens were found in nests among eggs, and they were assumed to be egg eaters.
		It has recently been suggested, however, that the oviraptors found in those nests may have received a "bum rap" -- the nests may have been their own, and like Maiasaura, they were guarding, not poaching, the eggs.

		Prior to the naming of Oviraptoridae, however, extensive work in the 1920's and 1930's in the badlands of Alberta, Canada, provided the discovery of several fossils of a variety of theropods or "birds" that would give the most extensive collection of incomplete remains of any group of oviraptorosaurs known to this date.
		Barsbold would be the first to taxonomically group Oviraptoridae and Caenagnathidae after grouping them into a single taxonomy, despite the 1960's which brought others to compare the two favorably -- this would not be until
		This would then be the staple to Oviraptoridae for more than a decade, whereas that of Caenagnathidae would conflate many concepts on taxonomy that will be covered in more detail on the Caenagnathidae page, above.

		Oviraptoridae - the Oviraptors - the Egg Snatchers or Egg Robbers
		They were a very rare group of maniraptorans that are well represented by excellent fossil from the Cretaceous period of Mongolia and North America which were connected, as the supercontinent Laurasia the Cretaceous period.
		Also, the urban legend that it was named after InGen from Jurassic Park, or has something to do with it, is completely false.
