For all of you animal lovers out there, there’s a new trend on Twitter that you may just fall in love with.
Zoos and aquariums all over the world are joining in #RateASpecies, which sees organisations give hilarious product-style reviews to their animals and fish… and yes, that includes some one-star ratings!
We think all of these gorgeous creatures deserve five stars each, but here are the very best species reviews.
1. Los Angeles Zoo docked points here for strange paper-eating habits.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ PROS & CONSDwarf model provides rapid clearing of foliage, weeds, and unwanted shrubbery in a compact design. Exceptionally adorable, but also will devour clothing and paper if left unattended. Occasionally hard-headed but fun to have around.#rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/SCZIPCdcDA

3. Vancouver Aquarium gave a hilarious review, docking one point for smell.
⭐⭐⭐⭐Get The Steller EditionThe limited edition steller series is the F-150 of pinnipeds. Buyer beware, premium fuel costs will burn a hole in your wallet, but the performance is unmatched. Removing 1 star as ours has started to smell strongly. No muffler. #rateaspecies pic.twitter.com/Y5HDlgcbxA
