Did you know?

  • Its thin, sticky tongue can reach about 10 centimetres out of the mouth.
  • Unlike most marsupials, the female has no pouch, and her four young cling to her teats and belly hair.

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.
