EDIT: u/Dontgiveaclam has officially guessed that the Secret Animal is a whale shark (Rhincodon typus).

I'm thinking of an animal. Your job is to figure out what animal I'm thinking of, just by asking yes/no questions about the animal. Only one question may be asked per post. Whoever guesses the animal first is the winner. You can ask as many questions as you want; however, you only get one guess, and if you're incorrect, you can't ask any more questions. If your guess is too generic (i.e. if my animal is a polar bear, and you guess "bear"), I will tell you to be more specific. If your next guess is incorrect, though, you're out of the game.

Can you guess the Secret Animal?
