Did you know?

  • It gave birth to live young in the sea instead of laying eggs, as fossils with babies inside show.
  • Its name means fish lizard, and it looked like a dolphin even though it was a reptile.

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.
