A fossilised dinosaur foetus dubbed 'Baby Louie' has been identified as new species of giant oviraptorosaur, which bears a striking resemblance to the most dangerous bird on Earth.

The egg containing Louie was discovered in the 1990s, and was remarkable because it caught the very moment he was hatching. But until now the technology has not existed to allow experts to reconstruct his body.

Experts at the University of Calgary and the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences found he belongs to a species of giant bird-like dinosaur called oviraptorosaur a type of feathered, wing-bearing, beaked dinosaur which built enormous nests.
