LOL: Zookeepers Recreate Chris Pratt's 'Jurassic World' Pose [UPDATED]
A near $209 million opening automatically makes a movie a cultural milestone. Such is currently happening with Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World. So far, the funniest result by far is this set of photos. A few zookeepers have taken to social media to recreate the image above, which features Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) carefully controlling a heard of raptors. So what does it look like when a real zookeeper emulates his pose with a bunch of walruses, ostriches or chickens? Find out about the Jurassic World zookeeper meme below.
UPDATE: After posting this story Wednesday morning, this exploded online. See a ton of additional images below.
The meme was originated by Nerdist.com who saw these two images.
And here's another:
