Zookeepers recreate Chris Pratt’s famous scene in Jurassic World

Have you caught the Jurassic World fever?

Breaking box office records, the film earned $208.8 million on its opening weekend in the US alone and $511 million worldwide. With the Jurassic Park sequel getting the biggest opening weekend in history, it’s safe to say that dinosaurs clearly have a place on this planet, at least on the big screen.

Apparently, several animal enthusiasts, particularly zoo keepers and trainers, have been inspired by Chris Pratt’s character Owen Grady in the blockbuster film.

In Jurassic World, former navy man and dinosaur expert Grady developed a special relationship with velociraptors, giving him the opportunity to train the vicious creatures. Like “Dog Whisperer” Cesar Milan, Grady can tame and make the raptors obey his commands.

Of course, Milan and Grady aren’t the only people in this planet with such gift. This is why real-life zoo keepers and trainers decided to post photos of them doing what they do best in an attempt to recreate Grady’s famous scene in the movie.

The hilarious memes which originally appeared on Tumblr have gone viral and cracked up thousands of Internet users.
