Did you know?

  • Its flat head was shaped like a boomerang, with long horns sticking out to the sides.
  • Scientists think its wide head may have worked like a wing, helping it glide through water.

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.
