Description: Borogovia is a genus of oviraptorosaurian dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 72-66 million years ago. It was a small to medium-sized carnivore, with an estimated length of about 6-9 feet and a weight of about 50-100 pounds. Borogovia had a long, slender neck and a small head with sharp teeth and powerful jaw muscles. It also had long, slender legs and a long, heavy tail, which it may have used for balance while running. Its body was probably covered in a layer of feathers. Borogovia was discovered in Mongolia in the 1990s, and was named by paleontologists in 1998. It is considered a member of the oviraptorosaurian group of dinosaurs, which also includes species such as Citipati and Oviraptor. Borogovia is known from a number of well-preserved fossil specimens, including several partial skeletons and skulls, which have helped paleontologists learn more about the anatomy and behavior of this dinosaur. It is thought to be closely related to other oviraptorosaurians such as Conchoraptor and Incisivosaurus.
