Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

If you have already been to see record-breaking blockbuster Jurassic World, you will likely remember Chris Pratt saving the day with his raptor taming skills.

But what you might not have expected is for zookeepers and farmers to go all Owen Grady on us and start performing their own takes on the memorable scene.

Whoever said that otters, giraffes, cows, stingrays and err, snails, couldn't rival the Indominus Rex in the fear factor stakes?

The #jurassiczoo and #jurassiczookeeper hashtags sprung up earlier this week and the submissions are so ridiculous they're brilliant. Pratt had better watch his back if he wants to keep the lead role in the confirmed sequel.

Here is our pick of just a few favourites:

From the genuinely impressive...

...to the cute...

Colin Trevorrow's movie focuses on the chaos that ensues when a giant genetically-modified monster escapes from captivity at a dinosaur theme park.
