Did you know?
- In autumn its needles turn golden and fall, which is unusual for a conifer.
- Its dense, resinous wood resists rot, so it was used for roof shingles, fences and boats.
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.
