Hilarious Zookeepers Recreate Jurassic World Scene With Animals
The “raptor taming” scene in newly released film Jurassic World has inspired zoologists and lay-people alike around the world to recreate the moment with more docile creatures. In the film, Chris Pratt plays Owen Grady, a velociraptor expert who seems to dominate the dinosaurs like a lion tamer.
Tumblr user feminerds started the Jurassic-craze this Wednesday, when she posted a screen capture of the scene alongside a photograph of a zookeeper reenacting the pose with three walruses. Since then, dozens have posted their own versions under #JurassicZoo, #ZoorassicWorld, and #PrattKeeping.

And then this started...

I am amazed you were able to get all three of the chickens to mimic the pose of the raptors. Truly wonderful!
This is great fun. I am glad to see people have been inspired by the original. May I point out that my fiancée Jason Smyth @slayer1551 posted the photograph of me (Michael Stakounis), duplicating the Jurassic World scene with our three chickens (Tikka, Korma and Jalfrezi) on 7th June 2015. I, (blick2k) posted the same picture on Reddit and Imgur the same day. This original idea and image, which we put great effort and attention to detail into, has over 4400 up votes on the original post (plus over 700 on the second xpost), multiple retweets on Twitter and almost 2 million views on Imgur, was reposted on multiple websites including cnet and buzzfeed.
Oops, correction, *fiancée's friend Jason Smyth

I like that he positioned them like the raptors in the screen cap the best he could.

Plot twist: the falcons actually auditioning for animals got talent. his talent? taming the most dangerous creatures on earth.
Well, we are the most dangerous animals on the planet.

not really, just in the wild cause they can't see very well ;) in captivity they are like giant dogs, loves belly scratches <3
Load More Replies...There's a "drive-through" wildlife thing in the state I used to live in, and they had a huge Rhino in a sunken corral. I walked up to it, and all it wanted was to have its horn and nose rubbed... very neat!
Yes...double respect!!! I have been with them and know respect and distance and no surprise is golde!
There's no bucket in the Jurassic picture
Load More Replies...No, the chickens are more closely related, but the lizards look closer to the raptors
Load More Replies...Actually chickens are closer relatives to dinosaurs than lizards
*nods* Actually just went on a research binge in response to the same comment. The conclusion is that you have to go a long ways back to put raptors at a common ancestor with frilled lizards and you kinda just follow the trees forward to get to chickens. Things also more closely related to a velociraptor than a frilled lizard? Sea turtles and gharial, which are dorky looking caiman. Hella fun journey through phylogenetics, guys! I learned one other thing: I should go the f**k to sleep.

Well, you can tell they are not impressed. Attention wandering over dere <<<
That does not look AT ALL like photoshopping. Trust me. I know a lot of people who use photoshop, no offense but I doubt a 10 year old or how ever old you are would know what something that is photoshopped looks like. Also, foxes aren't dangerous. (maybe a bit) They could easily have been tamed so they don't attack he while she is doing it. I volunteer at an animal sanctuary and they have a fox called Bracken and it is a platinum fox, it just runs around wagging it's tail like a dog, letting you stroke it. Not all wild animals kill people you know. Back to the point, this is a very realistic picture. And even if it was photoshopped, it is nearly impossible to tell because it would have been done so well. You would have to look at it's original file. Moral of the story: THIS IS NOT PHOTOSHOPPED.
Load More Replies...War thogs. I always laugh when I see these animals because when I read William Golding's 'Lord of the Flies' there was a sentence that split the word warthog and I thought to myself what is a war thog?
Load More Replies...Haha! I'm no animal expert but the 'deer' looking things (I think gazelles) on the left are just staring at her....
..Berna.....did you really just scroll through all the animals and decided to say something negative about THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR due to you jumping on the Blackfish bandwagon?
NO animals should be kept in captivity .As for Casey Wooten ,"Blackfish bandwagon....no actually any one with a conscience knows that we should not be using wild animals or any for that matter for human entertainment and subjecting animals to misery and an unnatural way of life for profit !!!
i love the one on the right.... "yeah dude i dont know what you're doing but uhh... yeah im out"
YES! Recognized this place immediately :) Way to go #SDZSafariPark, love those cheetahs
This is from the Forestry Farm Park & Zoo in Saskatoon, Canada. :)
I'd say the cassowary is a bit closer... emus don't eat meat, nor are they overly violent, cassowaries are both those things, lol
