What does your Avatar/Profile Picture mean?

I want y'all to guess my avatar, as I forgot what the thing in the picture was ! I think it's a log or something ...

 

'Tis an Indian Gharial

 

Good try, but nope!

 

I just was playing around to see if anyone could identify the animal, it was because I saw it looked somewhat like a floating log. Hence the winky face in Post #81.

 

Pretty sure it's a species of crocodile.

 

It is. Do you know what species?

 

gotta be a false gharial then. tomistoma

 

No.

 

I want to say Nile...

 

One hint. Tropical.

 

I mean it's going to be slender-snouted if it's not one of the gharials, surely.

Orinoco?

 

No to both, but it only looks gharial because of the angle, but the snout is of a normal looking _______ Crocodile.

 

I'm giving one last hint (haven't I already done that?): this zoo was originally planning to get Orinocos, but changed it to the species in my avatar.

 

I assume American crocodile because it is exhibited at the Cincinnati zoo and you list said zoo as your "Home zoo"

 

No. Read the hint above.

 

well running out of possibilities

Idk African dwarf?

 

My profile pic is of a zebra shark at the OdySea Aquarium. I chose it because sharks have been my biggest lifelong fascination, and zebra sharks are among the most beautiful sharks I've seen (also because this was the first juvenile zebra shark I've ever seen, so I thought this is a great way to mark this memory).
On an unrelated note: this is my 100th post!!!
