Zoos Are Posting Hilarious Amazon-Like Reviews Of Their Animals, And We Can’t Get Enough
We all know it's a good idea to check the product reviews before buying something, whether it is a washing machine or a bottle of hair conditioner. Most people are used to seeing a 1-5 star rating next to inanimate objects, however, Oregon Zoo decided to put a twist on the usual format.
On Friday, they started celebrating the start of the weekend by posting humorous reviews of their animals as if they were ordered on Amazon. The lighthearted joke went viral instantly and other animal enthusiasts picked up the trend as well. Soon, zoos, aquariums, wildlife centers and even regular pet owners all over the world were sharing their own witty comments under the hashtag #rateaspecies. Scroll down to see what animals received five-star ratings and don't forget to vote and comment on your favorites!

turtles are hard to eat so they're not a food item for him
Load More Replies...That is the last albino alligator in the world, breeding them with a regular alligator could pass on the albino gene but if not, this treasure will be the last of its kind upon death.
Load More Replies...10/10 GORGEOUS!!!!! Have to watch the wording. Did you actually order a painted Murder Log? You may have accidentally checked the Factory Unpainted box...
ayyyyy I've visited this guy since I was a kid! The Cal Academy isn't so much a zoo as a science museum, but they do have tons of cool animal exhibits and even a rainforest dome with beautiful butterflies and birds and plants!
I knew once I set the record straight they'd understand I am a albino crock.
Just a big guy in cammies hanging out on a warm rock that looks just like it.
I logged in JUST to upvote this and say it made me howl with laughter. This deserves to be way up there. *giggling my butt off @* "More like Jurassic Park" again!!!! Hahahahaa!!!
need more info in the comment. Asking if this is the tree version or strictly land model? (Asking for a friend)
LMAO @ "Cordless" I love when the bats come out at night and zip around my yard. Cute little buggers doing a great job of keeping off the bad buggies.
Awe they are so cute! I get them in my garden sometimes, looking for tasty snails :-)
No guitar skills? I'd ship them back on that alone! Nothing worse than a poser. *L*
Love this one!! I award zero stars to cockroaches, too! and I love his cute feets.
Great for teaching Humility .... Love the combed forward hairstyle.
I love the MB Aquarium, and can confirm these guys are everywhere, but can we discuss the seagulls? One stole my ice cream bar when I was five, and I've never truly recovered.
Yellow and black, yellow and black... ooh, black and yellow, let's shake it up a little!
Make sure to add the headband umbrella accessory to your order. This item comes with a splatter gun built in.
I am so happy to hear that you've gotten your seal issue under control. What a gorgeous solution to that problem, I agree, more people really need to get behind them! 12/12 I need one! #rateaspecies
Absolutely incompatible with large white mammals that claim to offer fuel catching services. Buyer Beware.
Also a great Mother's Day gift, since males carry the offspring! Gives moms a break!
"When you see a big eel hunting fish for its meal, that's a Moray!" Somebody at Monterey Bay Aquarium is slacking off
One of the best posts I've seen here! And surely in top 10 animal posts. 5 stars!
normally id always remind "humans are animals too" but considering how cute these guys are... nah animals are way better without including humans.
I loved this post! But I kept waiting for pandas to show up, they never did...:(
These are so cute and funny! I am almost persuaded to get a Twitter account just to follow this #rateaspecies!!
This was fun as well as the best in awhile! Thanks for the silly grin Im wearing now
I love the stuff like "extra fluff included". They've got a good sense of humor!
A hamster! :D https://www.instagram.com/p/BgW31WhFuGg/?taken-by=zooparkzajezd
Lots of fun but extremely annoying that there is no individual identification... would have loved to find out more about some of these critters if I only knew what they were.
