Did you know?
- A coast redwood named Hyperion in California is the tallest known living tree, at about 116 metres.
- It drinks fog: its needles absorb water from coastal fog, which supplies much of its water in dry summers.
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.
