Did you know?

  • Its name means first horned face, although it had no real horns, just a small bump on the nose.
  • So many fossils have been found that we know how it grew, from tiny hatchlings to adults.

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.
