Scientists find dinosaur couple called Romeo and Juliet

According to scientists of University of Alberta, they have discovered a dinosaur couple called Romeo and Juliet now. The researchers discovered them buried beneath the Mongolia-based Gobi Desert for more than 75 million years.

The scientists said that this is the mated pair was preserved for the abovementioned duration alongside each other. These two have found to be dead due to a vast sand dune collapsing over them. The sex of these oviraptors is not yet known because it is highly complex to find out the gender of a dinosaur, according to Scott Persons, lead author for the research.

The fossil of a dinosaur does not simply give any direct reference to it gender. The researchers published findings regarding the oviraptors' tails. According to the researchers, in spite of being strictly land-bound, these dinosaurs had long features that rested on the tails.

The researchers have carefully examined the specimen of these recently discovered oviraptor specimens. After examining, the new study established about the sexual dimorphism.

Persons said that they found that both oviraptors are of the same age, same size or somewhat similar in all regards of anatomy but 'Romeo' includes specially-shaped and larger tail bones. "This indicates that it had a greater capacity for courtship displays and was likely a male", added Persons.

According to Persons, relatively the second specimen, 'Juliet' had shorter and simpler tail bones and suggests a lesser capacity for peacocking and has been interpreted as a female. There is a possibility they both might be the mated pair and thus creating for the romantic story as they were preserved alongside for more than 75 million years.
