Did you know?
- Each seed hangs from a feathery parachute, and one seed head holds about 100 to 200 of them.
- Many dandelions make seeds without pollination, so the seedlings are clones of their parent.
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.
