Did you know?

  • Its long tail ended in a small diamond-shaped vane, a bit like a rudder.
  • Some fossils from the fine limestone of Solnhofen in Germany even show the skin of its wings.

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.
