Did you know?
- A Norway spruce in Sweden called Old Tjikko is thought to be about 9,500 years old, its roots sending up new trunks.
- Its cones hang down and fall whole, while the cones of firs break apart on the tree.
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.
