both male and female of this species are the same in coloration.

Caudipteryx, the smallest oviraptorid on the island. Like its larger relatives the oviraptor and citipati, the caudipteryx is an omnivore. It has been observed hunting at night for insects alongside the mononykus but it can also be seen during the day as well eating low lying plants. But the most amazing thing they've been seen doing is cleaning the teeth of the islands baryonyx, suchomimus and irritator. As it eats the parasites and bits of food that get stuck in their teeth. Which benefits those species as clean teeth gets rid of the risk of their teeth rotting out. With an amazing way of life the caudipteryx is a very interesting dinosaur indeed.
