So Chris Pratt tamed a few raptors in Jurassic World… big whoop!
Zookeepers have been taming their equally ferocious animals for centuries, and now they’re hilariously showing off their skills in the Internet’s newest meme, #prattkeeping!

Sea lions, like raptors, rely on their group for hunting.

Lemurs, when untrained, can wreak absolute havoc on society. Just watch Zoboomafoo for proof.
