Did you know?

  • Its name means thunder lizard, and it was named by Othniel Marsh in 1879.
  • For about 100 years Brontosaurus was counted as Apatosaurus, until a 2015 study brought the name back.

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.
