Zookeepers recreate Chris Pratt's Jurassic World pose

Zookeepers around the world are posting photos of themselves posing with their animals in the "stay back" pose made famous in the summer blockbuster Jurassic World.

The #JurassicZoomeme, as it came to be known on Twitter, was first spotted on Tumblr.

"My bestie is a zoo keeper, and she told me that because of Jurassic World it has become a craze in the keeper community (!) to re-enact Chris Pratt," wrote Talia on the Tumblr blogFemi-nerds.

The photo showed a zookeeperstriking thepose that Chris Pratt is seen assuming in a promotional photo for the latestsequel to Jurassic Park. Instead of three Velociraptors, though, the zookeepers to holding back three walruses.

From that post in Australia, the trend spread to other zoos around the world with different animals playing the raptors' role.

Several of the #JurassicZoo posts involved penguins.

And at least one involved backyard chickens.

And Chris Pratt himself tweeted his delight with the meme.
