On March 9, the Oregon Zoo invited Twitter users to leave feedback on the animals they saw by posting an entry with the hashtag #rateaspecies (“rate a biological species”) in the official microblog.
The tweet was accompanied by a photo of an otter with text about the "first impressions" of communicating with her:
The zoo also praised the owl for good sound production and a spinning top:
Soon the Oregon Zoo was joined by other animal holding centers across America. For example, the Monterey Aquarium published a review of the sea otter - "significantly improved compared to the river version."
A review of an albino crocodile appeared on Twitter from the California Academy of Sciences - the author complains that "the color is not at all the same as in the description."
The Los Angeles Zoo gave a good review (four stars!) to a harmless lion who loves to sleep:
A Twitter user from Los Angeles gave only one star to the frog - the amphibian reminded him of a "spread heap" with its shape.
