Did you know?

  • Its underwater bladder traps suck in tiny animals within a few thousandths of a second.
  • It has no true roots: the floating stems stay under water and only the flower stalks rise above it.

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.
