Hi Folks
Herewith is challenge #3 for the year.
I trust this will be a little more user friendly than the last, as there are fewer juveniles in the pack.
As a new twist to the challenge, there will be a side competition for the funniest caption for picture #10 (toilet humour allowed :tongue:

).

#1

#10

Enjoy!

LBJ's are quite simple. First put them in the right family group, and then work from there!
