Scientists say they have found a perfectly protected embryo of dinosaurs. Dinosaurembryos found in China.

The embryo was in the process of hatching just like a baby chicken. They
found the fossil of the embryo in the southern Chinese city of Ganzhou and
found it to be at least 68 million years old.
According to a CNN report, it is thought to be a dinosaur of the toothless
Theropod or Oviraptoroso species. Scientists have named it Baby Ingliang.
Researcher Dr. Fione Weissum's mother said it was the first time in history
that fossils of well-preserved dinosaur embryos had been found.
This discovery has brought scientists new information that will allow them
to establish the similarities between modern species of birds and dinosaurs.
These fossils show that the dinosaur embryos were wrapped inside an egg, which
is called 'talking' in scientific terms, just before the embryo hatches.
Dr. The mother said that this indicates that the ancestor of modern bird
species was dinosaurs and that today's bird species was first born through the
evolution of dinosaurs. Oviraptorosoros means 'egg-stealing reptile'. The
dinosaurs of this species were covered with feathers and their habitat was 68
million to 100 million years ago, in present-day Asia and North America.
Researchers say that the embryo inside the dinosaur's egg may have been
protected in this state by a sudden landslide. Other animals could not eat the
embryo because it was crushed under the collapse.
