This is a hard question as the Oviraptor was one of the oddest of all the dinosaurs. It is only known from a partial skeleton, so the exact size is uncertain, but it possibly stood somewhere between 3 and 6 feet tall, and 6-12 feet long. It was very bird-like, and stood with the appearance of an ostrich or other flightless bird, but with a longer tail and three sharp hand-claws. Atop a long neck hovered a head with the blunk beak of a parrot meant for crushing, and the odd crest of a cassowary for display. With its hollow bones and relation to birds, it wouldn't be at all suprising if it had a set of downy feathers as well.

Oviraptor, by scientific guess, lived around 3 years, maybe 5 if there are few predators. Oviraptor could well defend itself, though. It is probable they could live longer, but we may never know, due to the fact that Oviraptor is extinct.
When did an Oviraptor live?
on earth
How did the oviraptor get its name?
The dinosaur name oviraptor originally meant "egg thief", because of the fact that an oviraptor skeleton was discovered "stealing" eggs from another dinosaur's nest. But recent evidence actually shows that the oviraptor was just being a good mother and protecting her nest from egg thiefs, but most likely a sand storm.
