Did you know?

  • Bactrian camels can drink brackish water that would make most other mammals ill.
  • A double row of long eyelashes and nostrils that close keep out sand.

Could you guess it from clues?

WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
