Did you know?

  • Its name means scythe lizard, after the huge curved claws on its hands.
  • When its first bones were found in Mongolia in 1948, scientists thought they came from a giant turtle.

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.
