What does your Avatar/Profile Picture mean?

Mine is a colour-tinted Magic Lantern glass slide of the last Quagga at London Zoo in the 1880s. I've had it as my avatar for so long now, I can't remember where I found it (Google probably...)
 
My avatar is currently a Golden Whistler (Pachycephala pectoralis) which I photographed at Taronga Zoo.

I have also had a few other avatars in the past; a Whistling Kite from Australia Zoo, a Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo from Currumbin and a Pied Currawong I photographed in my backyard.
 
My avatar is pretty self explanatory in that I’m a Millennial lad. I considered changing my username to this; but everyone already knew me as @Zoofan15, so I made this avatar instead.

I’m proud of how the ‘L’ at the end of Millennial links to the ‘L’ at the start of Lad: MILLENNIAL LAD; I’m not proud of how I left out an ‘N’ in Millennial. I will correct this one day...

While I obviously do not know your age, I've always assumed you're on the younger side like me. If so and you were born after 1996, I'm afraid you're the Gen Z lad ;)

I’d always assumed that Millennial ran up until 2000-2005; but while some sources support this, the majority define 1996/1997 as the last year of the Millennial cohort. Either way, I just make it. :cool:

And we know how important that is to you! The X of Gen X doesn't elide with the L of Lad the way Millenial does.:)

Exactly, plus Gen X and Gen Z are seriously uninspired names. I’m glad Gen Y got relabelled as Millennials. The current generation (Gen Alpha) is a top name. :cool:;)
 
I don't know if anyone cares, but mines a river otter that was sleeping on top of the otter slide at Zoo Miami (Did it look weird that my non-child self was inside? Perhaps. there basically was no-one there and I was with my brother. Was it worth it? Indubitably
 
Mine is an eastern Lowland Gorilla, my favorite species of ape. You can tell because it lacks the red fore-head marking.
 
I've updated my profile picture to a closeup of a Palm Cockatoo from a Siamese Crocodile. This picture was taken at the San Diego Zoo, and back in 2017 I had taken a picture of another Palm Cockatoo in Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo in which it was also a really zoomed up picture of the cockatoo's face. In that picture, the mesh fencing had gotten in the way of the picture and I liked the effect of it, but in this one, the fencing was more blurred and the bird is more of the focus. So I kind of like to think that this is the "glorified" version of the other picture.
