In Depth
Huanansaurus is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur that lived in China during the late Cretaceous. The holotype of Huanansaurus consists of an almost complete skull as well as a good proportion of post cranial remains including vertebrae and parts of the arms and legs. These have also led to the interpretation that Huanansaurus would have been a very close relative of the genus Citipati.
