Description
This strange looking creature might remind you of the Jabberwocky, but like many of my other paleaoart oddities, it was once a real creature. Citipati, whose name means 'Funeral Pyre Lord', was a dinosaur of the late Cretaceous period about 70 million years ago. It was about the size of an emu and exibited very birdlike qualities and behavior. Fossils for this oviraptorid were found in Mongolia.
