Zoos, aquariums, and natural history museums on twitter are rating the animals on #rateaspecies. Adorable photos included.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ otter be 4 stars but
ok first of all i'm very satisfied much improved over river edition. extremely warm insulation which adds buoyancy. if u like kelp the UrchinCrusher+ is a must on coastal trips. minus one star because it's actually a weasel lol?! #rateaspecies
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
love that it fits any space. adjustable color to match your mood/location. extremely grippy base. ink included, but stylus sold separate if you need that go with the squid sizes. note: don't pair with another or they stop working #rateaspecies
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MISLABELED
Warning. Not as labeled. This is a straight up bear. Not a sloth. Not a sloth/bear hybrid. Very good quality bear, as long as you know what you're getting into. #rateaspecies

Hard to imagine anything beating the spotted unicornfish. I mean, look at its little face!
Seriously, if someone cooked one of these things and put it on a plate in front of me with the head intact, I don't think I could eat it. It looks like it was designed by Pixar, for God's sake.

Shame on the CA Academy of Sciences! Claude the albino alligator deserves more than 3 stars! Gotta love the showings from Monterey as well.

I misread that as #ateaspecies, so came to the subject from an erroneous set of assumptions. Pleasantly surprised.

This feel's like it's a half-step away from being Karl Pilkington asking "but, do we we need 'em?" because he's not impressed with a specific animal.

I think the best ones are the ones that really nail the language of a product review, and tend to incorporate notes that are technically true but obviously not criteria by which you would actually rate an animal. Notes like “cordless” or “no mount for a go-pro” or “disruptive design.” IDK, maybe you have to have read a lot of Amazon reviews to really get into the spirit of it.

"High Koalaty" is the best pun and I am going to try to work it into every conversation forever.
