We all know it's a good idea to check the product reviews before buying something, whether it is a washing machine or a bottle of hair conditioner. Most people are used to seeing a 1-5 star rating next to inanimate objects, however, Oregon Zoo decided to put a twist on the usual format.

On Friday, they started celebrating the start of the weekend by posting humorous reviews of their animals as if they were ordered on Amazon. The lighthearted joke went viral instantly and other animal enthusiasts picked up the trend as well. Soon, zoos, aquariums, wildlife centers and even regular pet owners all over the world were sharing their own witty comments under the hashtag #rateaspecies. Scroll down to see what animals received five-star ratings and don't forget to vote and comment on your favorites!

LMAO @ "Cordless" I love when the bats come out at night and zip around my yard. Cute little buggers doing a great job of keeping off the bad buggies.

No guitar skills? I'd ship them back on that alone! Nothing worse than a poser. *L*

I love the MB Aquarium, and can confirm these guys are everywhere, but can we discuss the seagulls? One stole my ice cream bar when I was five, and I've never truly recovered.

Make sure to add the headband umbrella accessory to your order. This item comes with a splatter gun built in.

I am so happy to hear that you've gotten your seal issue under control. What a gorgeous solution to that problem, I agree, more people really need to get behind them! 12/12 I need one! #rateaspecies

Absolutely incompatible with large white mammals that claim to offer fuel catching services. Buyer Beware.

Also a great Mother's Day gift, since males carry the offspring! Gives moms a break!

"When you see a big eel hunting fish for its meal, that's a Moray!" Somebody at Monterey Bay Aquarium is slacking off
