  • Gideon Mantell named it iguana tooth in 1825, because its teeth looked like an iguana's.
  • Its thumb ended in a sharp spike, which was first thought to sit on its nose like a horn.

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.
