It was a difficult decision &#8211; there were so many great names! I decided in the end to not mention the sea or ocean or mammals, because this way I have the option to add freshwater animals and non-mammals.

This was suggested by several of you, but the first person to mention it was <strong>Talvi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Part two of the contest: the random drawing. There were 92 entries, so after I removed the 5 duplicates from the drawing (and Talvi&#8217;s entry) that left 86 unique entries.
