The dinosaur name oviraptor originally meant "egg thief", because of the fact that an oviraptor skeleton was discovered "stealing" eggs from another dinosaur's nest. But recent evidence actually shows that the oviraptor was just being a good mother and protecting her nest from egg thiefs, but most likely a sand storm.
