Huanansaurus is yet another one of the many oviraptorid dinos from southern China. Given the multitude of oviraptorids from southern China, it's therefore possible that the different species of oviraptorids from China may have evolved from a common ancestor in central China to become adapted for different kinds of food, just like Darwin's finches.
