An exquisitely preserved dinosaur embryo, dubbed "Baby Yingliang," has been discovered inside a fossilized egg in the Late Cretaceous rocks of Ganzhou, southern China. Estimated to be between 66 and 72 million years old, this embryo provides remarkable insights into the link between the behavior of modern birds and their dinosaur ancestors. The embryo, believed to be a toothless theropod dinosaur or oviraptorosaur, exhibits a posture similar to that of modern bird embryos, suggesting that bird-like prehatching behaviors evolved in dinosaurs. The discovery, involving a research team from the University of Birmingham and the University of Edinburgh, highlights the unique positioning of the embryo with its head below the body and feet on either side, curled along the egg's blunt end. #DinosaurDiscovery #Paleontology #BabyYingliang #CretaceousFossils #AncientEgg #DinosaurEmbryo #Oviraptorosaur #FossilFind #DinosaurResearch #Evolution
