Zookeepers around the world are taking a (prehistoric) leaf out of Chris Pratt’s book, mimicking his “Jurassic World” character’s dinosaur-taming moves.

There’s a scene in the film in which Pratt is shown training a group of velociraptors. A still of that scene has since been transformed into a hilarious meme.

On Wednesday, Tumblr user Feminerds shared a photograph of a zookeeper copying Pratt’s pose with a group of walruses.

and squee!

Although the doves, the penquins, and the turtles are a strong tie for second.

I noticed the rhino zookeeper very smartly distracted them with piles of hay Good survival move!

When I was a kid we had a little rooster who would wait up on the roof above the front door of our house. Randomly he'd decide to jump off and attack anyone who tried to enter or exit. He'd hang out in trees and do the same. Surprise! Like the Pink Panther's Cato. All of our dogs, even the big dogs who wouldn't take shit from anyone, coyotes, bobcats, skunks, raccoons, or UPS drivers, were afraid of him. This rooster was such a horrible, horrible creature we kept him around. He wouldn't have been good to eat anyways. (My family is a little bit Addams family...)

I also remember cleaning up the garden and pasture with the chickens following behind me hoping to eat any insects I flushed out, or grubs and worms I uncovered. I once lifted up an old fallen fence rail that had mice nests under it and instantly everything became a scene of bloody carnage, the chickens swallowing baby mice whole and chasing after the adult mice, ripping them apart into bite-sized chunks when they caught them and fought over the bloody little mice corpses...

Something went REALLY wrong when they cloned Velociraptor - a real one was about the size of a turkey, and the ones InGen made were like miniature T.rex.

Especially the dolphins. Many of them come from the Taiji slaughter/capture. Hate to be a wet blanket; can't help it.
