In Jurassic World, much of Chris Pratt's role — aside from being a total badass — is about trying to "train" raptors (which I guess is also part of his being a total badass). If you've seen trailers for the movie, you'll recall a specific part in which Pratt, who plays Owen in the movie, is seen attempting to try and train the raptors. Or at least establish a relationship (read: it's not about control) with them. It is probably one of the most memorable moments of the trailer, and now it has officially become a meme.
Zookeeper's from all across the world have taken to social media, frequently using the hashtag #JurassicZoo, to re-enact Chris Pratt's raptor scene, only swapping the dinosaurs for animals that they care for. And the results are hilarious.
Oh internet, this is why I love you.
