In Depth
Beibeilong is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the earlier stages of the late Cretaceous. The genus was described from fossilised embryos and eggs. Adult details including maximum size of Beibeilong are unknown at the time of writing, but the original describers of the genus speculated that when fully grown, Beibeilong may have rivalled the massive oviraptorid dinosaur Gigantoraptor for size.
