Did you know?

  • Its name means egg thief, because it was found on a nest in 1923 and blamed for stealing the eggs.
  • Later finds showed the eggs were of its own kind, so it was a caring parent, not a thief.

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.
