Re: Oviraptor

["Berislav Krzic" <veselinka.stanisavac@siol.net>]

It  is quite possible that Protoceratops was a nest robber, too and that the
fabled fossilized fight with Velociraptor resulted from Velociraptor
defending its nest. As far as I know there is no material proof that
Protoceratops was a pure herbivore (only deduction from the shape of its
teeth). Pure herbivores are in fact quite rare among modern reptiles. On the
other hand omnivorous reptiles, birds and mammals are common. In recent
times a taste for meat (and eggs) was discovered among some animals that
were previously thought were on strict vegetarian diet.
