Did you know?

  • The tail of a male is longer than a female's and ends in a horny spur.
  • It spends winter hibernating buried in soil or leaf litter for several months.

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.
