Leave it to the professionals to turn a memorable (and ridiculous) Jurassic World scene into a real-life social media sensation.
That's precisely what's happened since Chris Pratt's latest flick made its way into theaters this past weekend—which smashed box office records, naturally—and zookeepers witnessed one scene in particular.
The moment in the action-packed flick when the hunky actor is seen waving his hands at a pack of velociraptors, somehow magically training them in the most effortless of ways, has caused many a copy-cat frenzy.
That's right, zookeepers around the country have taken to Twitter to show their skills at hand, albeit with decidedly less dangers animals in the frame.

Some of the funnier hashtags that have come out of the photos have been #Prattkeeping and #CleverGirls, but really, the photos are where it's at.
And in case you're already having withdrawals over seeing Pratt up on the big screen chasing dinos, the actor recently joked that he'll be back for more. Way more.
"I am [signed on]," he dished to Entertainment Weekly. "They have me for I think 38 movies or something."
Wonderful.
