Did you know?
- Each dolphin develops its own signature whistle, which works much like a name.
- While it sleeps, only half of its brain rests at a time, so it keeps surfacing to breathe.
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.
