These Zoos Are Giving Their Animals Amazon-Like Reviews And They're As Informative As They Are Creative

Zoos have always been part education, part entertainment, but some of them have found a much funnier way to get people talking. Instead of relying only on signs and brochures, they are posting animal reviews that look a lot like Amazon product ratings, and the results are unexpectedly charming.

The idea has turned into a playful way to spotlight everything from otters and goats to bears and birds, while still giving visitors a little extra information about the animals they are seeing. It is silly, clever, and oddly effective, which is probably why these posts keep spreading.

Here are some of the best examples, and a few of them are pure gold.

1. Oregon Zoo and Otters

Kicking off my favorite new animal-related trend is the Oregon Zoo and their 4-star review of otters.

Their hilarious review of their albino alligator definitely raised the bar.

Some of these reviews are basically tiny comedy routines.

Fun fact: the platypus is one of the few living mammals that produce venom.
