The trending hashtag #rateaspecies is taking over Twitter and we couldn’t be happier about it.
The hashtag was started by the Oregon Zoo on Friday and has been picked up since by other animal conservationists. The ratings take the form of product reviews and are legitimately hilarious.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Overall very good first impressions. Sturdy built, totally winter-ready and waterproof. Only comes in brown but that’s actually a plus for me. #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/IK99ODsTPT— Oregon Zoo (@OregonZoo) March 9, 2018
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THOUGHT IT WAS A KNOCKOFF
Looked like this right out of the package. Started beeping but they said that was normal. Craftsmanship seems good. Fun#rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/hVZEYoRgB3— Oregon Zoo (@OregonZoo) March 9, 2018
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SO GOOD
Came with super cute case. Not the fastest but outlasts every comparable unit. Retractable accessories. Dropped into a pond and still works perfectly#rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/Y3q3a0KOjo— Oregon Zoo (@OregonZoo) March 9, 2018
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED
This stylish little unit is amazing. Sound quality A+. No distortion at full volume but bass is a little weak. Top rotates which is a plus. #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/OYaWOfzosA— Oregon Zoo (@OregonZoo) March 9, 2018
⭐ very unsatisfied with the shipping. I ordered a frog and what I got was this big melted pile. #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/6pj9D2HcED

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceeds expectations!
Very cute marsupial IMHO – and the only one found in the US! Curious if negative reviewers know about the benefits to the eco-system? #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/5JWQ0JLs7S— Tennessee Aquarium (@TNAquarium) March 9, 2018
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BEST DRESSED
Dapper styling, sick dance moves, occasional fish breath. Definitely performs better in groups. #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/edZUDvtb9u— New England Aquarium (@NEAQ) March 9, 2018
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PRAYING THEY KEEP MAKING THESE
As seen on @Oatmeal. Full set is the ultimate seafood multi-tool: tenderizes, slices and serves in milliseconds! Comes in all colors plus some you can’t see.#rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/vm2YhrBihR— Monterey Bay Aquarium (@MontereyAq) March 9, 2018
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ A+ VINTAGE ROADSTER
Despite few major design updates since the Ice Age, a worthy investment for current and future aficionados. Oxygen-processing and sustained land speed unparalleled. Extremely rare, though hopefully not for long.#rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/Dqa0Gp7Q7m— Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens (@LAZoo) March 9, 2018
