The entries were simply awesome!!! Not to mention some were a tad too R rated, Steemit people and some were just… yeah, an entry, I guess…  Anyhowz, I loved them and it was not only awesome to read your creative captions to the photo but more importantly to know I am not the only person on this planet who thinks such things when I encounter wildlife from around the world.  However, there can only be so many winners in this contest and I did in fact ask for aid in deciding the winners from friends, which are below.

<center>**The winners are as follows:**
**1st place:** @Lunar
*“What should we have for lunch?”
“Ice - burgers!”*
**2nd place:** @diebitch
*Male: “Waddle I do without you?”
Female: “Look up or I’ll flip you over.”*
**3rd place:** @geoffreydemars
*“Is that a leftover sardine, or are you just happy to see me?”*
</center>

<center>**So my thoughts are let's keep this thing going!!!**</center>

<center>Round 2 ~ **CAPTION THIS**
The Rules are simple:
1.In the comments below write a caption about what you believe the animal or animals are thinking/saying.
2.Only 2 comments/entries per photo MAXIMUM
3.HAVE fun and be creative otherwise what is the point :)
*Side note: upvoting & resteeming isn’t a rule but is greatly appreciated. If this contest gets bigger and bigger than the winnings will in turn become bigger and bigger*</center>

Also, here is the thing - I feel as if I need to give everyone more time to have a chance to enter.  As I am heading on a ship tomorrow to Antarctica it will be hard for me to read the entries and choose the winners in the next week - SO, everyone will have until March 1st to enter & the winners will be announced March 2nd. This will be when I am back in civilization/Ushuaia and will have time to read, choose a winner and  catch up on life and bills, etc.

<center>**THIS TIME THOUGH!!!** 
1st place - 8SBD
2nd place - 6SBD
3rd - 4SBD</center>
