- A 66-million-year-old dinosaur embryo was discovered in Ganzhou in southern China.
- The embryo is believed to be a toothless theropod dinosaur, or oviraptorosaur.
- It has been named Baby Yingliang.
- The discovery of embryo has also provided researchers a greater understanding of the link between dinosaurs and modern birds.
- The fossil provides that, embryo was in a curled position called as “tucking”.
- This behaviour is seen among birds, shortly before they hatch.
- It also indicates that tucking behaviour in modern birds has been evolved and originated from their dinosaur ancestors.
