Khaan mckennai (McKenna's lord) was an oviraptorid dinosaur that was found in the Djadochta Formation, Mongolia, and lived in the Late Cretaceous, 70 million years ago.
Khaan did not differ much from other oviraptorids. At first, its remains were assigned to Ingenia, but Khaan 's manual structure differs sufficiently from Ingenia 's that it can be assigned to its own genus. Among oviraptorids, it was probably more closely related to Conchoraptor.
Like other oviraptorids, Khaan was probably a meat eater, feeding on small vertebrates like mammals, lizards, and possibly other small dinosaurs. It was also probably feathered.
