Friday Creature

As promised, this week's creature is not a bird. I have no idea what kind of reptile this is, though. It's a photo taken the last time Emmie and I visited the Tennessee Aquarium, which I think was in the middle of the summer. It's probably about time we went back for another visit, to see what's new and how everyone is coping with the winter weather. In the meantime, have a good weekend, everyone, and don't forget to check out the other creatures at the ark!
UPDATE: check out this awesome picutre of a cat and a moose (via the ark)!

My guess is Dwarf / Cuvier's Caiman.

That looks right! That's quite a big head for such a small creature!

Sure it's not a baby gator?

Maybe—I'll check next time I'm back at the aquarium. I might try to pop over for an extended lunch break one day next week if things are mellow at work...
