Hmm.. interesting. You're having people post their votes here, rather than PM you.
This is going to give everyone a rather big incentive to hold off on answering and see how everyone else votes (and especially to see if they post explanations of their reasoning). It will probably distort the game and I suspect you may end up changing the procedure.
But, hey, I'm willing to go first.
The answer is Five, the croc.
I decline to explain why. |

Who would argue that supposedly five of these answers are a croc.
