Did you know?
- Cheetahs cannot roar; they purr, chirp and make a bird-like call.
- A cheetah's claws only partly retract, so they work like the spikes of a running shoe.
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.
