Protoceratops was a small dinosaur that inhabited what is now central Asia between 85 and 80 million years ago. Several small raptors also lived in this area at this time, notably Oviraptor, which is thought to have fed mainly on the eggs of other dinosaurs.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dramatic scene from prehistoric times, immortalized through stunning computer artwork. On the right side of the image stands a formidable Protoceratops dinosaur, fiercely defending its nest against an attacking raptor dinosaur. The intensity of the moment is heightened by the presence of a clutch of eggs nestled at the lower right corner. Protoceratops, a small herbivorous dinosaur that roamed central Asia approximately 85 to 80 million years ago, reaches its maximum length of around two meters in this depiction. This resilient creature faced constant threats from various predators inhabiting the same region during that era. Notably, Oviraptors were among these small raptors who specialized in feeding on other dinosaurs' eggs. The intricate details and lifelike textures captured in this computer artwork bring these ancient creatures back to life for us to marvel at their existence and survival strategies. It serves as a reminder of how diverse and awe-inspiring our planet's history truly is. As we explore paleontology through images like this one, we gain valuable insights into Earth's past inhabitants and their interactions with each other. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into our planet's rich natural heritage through this remarkable piece of artistry.
