In a twist of fate, dinosaur eggs were discovered in China but the discovery was under wraps for two decades.

A 66 million-year-old fossilised embryo was in one of the eggs and it retained most of the features of the bird-like oviraptorosaur, one of the precursors in the evolution of birds.

The eggs were found in Southern China in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province where researchers from the Yingliang Group kept the fossils for a decade.

In other peculiar news making headlines, Briefly News previously reported that South Africans were confused as they reacted to a large chicken wing on social media. @LightMakhanya posted a picture of a super large wing on Twitter and many were amazed.

Some people suggest it’s large to the extent that it’s a wing cut from a giraffe but some say it’s a turkey and ostrich. Briefly News went to investigate and brings you some hilarious reactions:
