The #RateASpecies game on Twitter was started to help drum up interest in weird and wonderful creatures and the internet is loving it!
When placing orders online, it is always smart to check the item reviews beforehand. These usually give a good indication as to what you could possibly expect to receive.
Someone decided to do this for different species to drum up interest and to also just give the internet something fun to do while sitting at work.
The #RateASpecies challenge has had some incredibly creative posts so far and we loved the fact that South Africa’s Two Oceans Aquarium joined in on the fun. Their tweets are pure genius and gave us a good giggle.
⭐ 1/5 ESCAPED FROM SALAD
Advertised as a cucumber, but it is NOT suitable for a salad! THIS IS NOT VEGAN! Left it in greek salad for 5 minutes and it escaped! Worst cucumber I have ever encountered! #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/2PglAIVBTp— Two Oceans Aquarium (@2OceansAquarium) March 16, 2018
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Ordered this guitar for my band and boy does it attract crowds! Vocals difficult underwater. Guitar is often damp, but it is worth it. Does not handle heavy metal well, but excellent for new wave! #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/jvXDlXLfW6

⭐DOES NOT MAKE JOKES
Marketed as a clown. Not funny. Jokes are lame. Didn't laugh once! Would leave half a star if we could. #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/9838mqEOFs— Two Oceans Aquarium (@2OceansAquarium) March 15, 2018
⭐⭐ SMALLER THAN ADVERTISED!
Advertised as "huge, fearsome reptilian predator" but received this instead. Cannot be refunded as we have grown attached. #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/s7wNJUzhcG— Two Oceans Aquarium (@2OceansAquarium) March 15, 2018
You can see some of the other ones below. We just love the creativity being used by these zoos, aquariums and animal sanctuaries.
⭐Ordered a roomba but received this instead. It seems to have additional features such as a head and legs? Good for hoovering up veggies but not interested in dust.. so what's the point? I'm now hoovering with normal hoover+the roomba is sat with snacks watching me #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/irPDTv8kGL

⭐️NOT WHAT I ORDERED
I ordered a duck, otter, and beaver bundle apparently there was some kind of freak accident in shipping or something. Contacted shipper, they claim no error. Bad seller. NEVER BUYING AGAIN!#rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/e13u4K657F— 🐯 🆃🆈🅶🅴🆁 (@TygerWDR) 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
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5 Audio Recorder: Mixed feelings on this review. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It only records what it finds interesting. AND will replay LOUDLY usually at or BEFORE sunrise.Also, no battery needed. Requires fresh fruits & veggies. VERY MESSY.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
love that it fits any space. adjustable color to match your mood/location. extremely grippy base. ink included, but stylus sold separate if you need that go with the squid sizes. note: don't pair with another or they stop working #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/70IxwYRp0Z— Monterey Bay Aquarium (@MontereyAq) March 9, 2018
