       Beibeilong is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the earlier stages of the late Cretaceous.‭ ‬The genus was described from fossilised embryos and eggs.‭ ‬Adult details including maximum size of Beibeilong are unknown at the time of writing,‭ ‬but the original describers of the genus speculated that‭ ‬when fully grown,‭ ‬Beibeilong may have rivalled the massive oviraptorid dinosaur Gigantoraptor for size.
