A Petting Zoo Person is a type of character who is so anthropomorphized that they resemble an animal's head and tail placed on an otherwise human body frame. This is a higher degree of [[Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphism]] than the [[Funny Animal]] (who retain the [http://cartooncave.blogspot.com/2009/01/anthropomorphism.html general shape and proportions of the animal]), but a step below those that are a [[Little Bit Beastly]] (whose ''only'' animal features are their [[Unusual Ears|ears]] and tail, possibly claws); in Japan, this level of anthropomorphism is referred to as "[[wikipedia:Kemono|kemono]]" (which is shortened term of ''kemono-obito'' or beast-man, and is also what [[Furry Fandom|Japanese furries]] call themselves).
'''Petting Zoo People''' typically feature the following:
* They possess the animal's full head and face, and (where applicable) the animal's tail.
* Where [[Little Bit Beastly]] folks have human skin, Petting Zoo People possess fur-, feather-, or scale-covered bodies. Sometimes they have a mix of skin accented with heavy concentrations of fur (et al), a built in [[Pretty in Mink]] as it were.
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
* They may possess [[Non-Mammal Mammaries|humanlike breasts]], which [[Funny Animal]]s typically lack.
* They display all the mannerisms of a human individual, such as speaking human language (unless they're [[The Speechless]]) and wearing clothes on their body. The type of clothes varies with each setting; Petting Zoo People in 'modern' or science fiction settings will wear modern-day attire, while individuals in fantasy or "native" settings might wear only a loincloth and jewelry, or even forego clothing entirely. Petting Zoo People are much more likely to be [[Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal|Fully Dressed Cartoon Animals]].
* They will likely wear some form of footwear (unless they're [[Barefoot Cartoon
* A female will typically have humanlike, styleable [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|hair on her head]], while a male's head simply has the same pelt as he has on the rest of his body.
** Though males with similarly humanlike hair is not uncommon. Sometimes this is also inverted with Petting Zoo People lions and those based off of lions, where the males are known for their manes.

== Anime
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' has a whole race of them, the Beastmen.
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', the Magical World seems mostly composed by [[Kemonomimi]]s, but there are quite a few of Petting Zoo People too. Most "Bear Mama", the bear woman who took care of some of the characters for a while.
* ''[[One Piece]]''
** Tony Tony Chopper from
** Foxy also had three rat Petting Zoo People in his crew who helped him prepare for the grand match of Davy Back Fight.
** The Mink Tribe is an entire species of Petting Zoo people of various animal stock, mostly mammals, who either fit this Trope or [[Funny Animal]]. Peculiarly, Mink often are of different animal stock within same family; a child is not necessarily the same stock as his or her parents.
** The Fishmen are similar to the Minks (some are this Trope, some are borderline or higher), [[Fish People| but fish-like]].
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', Sajin Komamura appears to be this.
* [[Owl Be Damned|Fukuro]] in ''[[Fairy Tail]]''.
Line 51 ⟶ 62:
* They are a common sight in the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' series, even moreso in the earlier arcs. Major characters that fit this trope included Puar, [[Pig Man|Oolong]], and Korin. Other examples of this trope are Captain Yellow (a tiger), a high-ranking officer of the Red Ribbon Army and King Furry (a dog), the King of Earth.
* At least ''three'' of ''[[Doraemon]]'''s [[Non-Serial Movie]] have settings around the anthropomorphic animal's societies. One having mixed up species, one having birds, and one having dogs and cats. They act and speak so similarly to the Earthlings that the heros are always able to disguise themselves simply with animal outfits and use the language translation gum.
* In ''[[My Hero Academia]]'', Principal Nezu is a very rare case of an animal who was born with a Quirk; in his case, it gives him superhuman intelligence, an anthropomorphic physique, and the ability to talk. However, exactly what species of animal he's supposed to be is debatable, as he seems to have traits of a mouse, bear, and dog.
== Comic Books ==
Line 72 ⟶ 83:
* [[Cerebus the Aardvark]] is a humanoid aardvark.
* Most of the supporting cast of ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'' gradually turned into this. At first they were just animals standing on two legs, usually keeping their animalistic proportions (so, for instance, pig Porker Lewis had a large belly, and rabbit Johnny Lightfoot had notably longer hind legs), but after Robotnik took over Mobius most characters started wearing clothes and assumed more humanoid proportions. Porker's the most obvious example, as his pig trotters were replaced with five-fingered hands (presumably due to his status as the team's tech expert).
* The Banfoo in ''[[Ythaq]]'' are humanoid walruses. They even use [[Fang Thpeak]] because of their tusks. Then there are humanoid cats (Feng), crocodiles (Pailleurs), bears (Skaarf), upright-walking blue furred monkeys with opposable thumbs (Flurik)…
▲* French beverage maker ''[[Orangina]]'' has a cast of characters in their commercials which are CGI animal people.
▲** American beverage enhancer ''[[Advertising/Mio|Mio]]'' appears to be following suit.
▲* [[Chuck E Cheese]], the [[Rodents of Unusual Size|giant mouse]] mascot of a chain of kids' restaurants called ''Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza''.
▲* In the 1980s, Midland Bank, a British listening bank, has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdKTYXzybrY an anthropomorphic version of their golden griffin mascot] in some of their animated commercials.
Line 86 ⟶ 91:
== Fan
* Disney characters [[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Maid Marian]], [[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Gadget Hackwrench]], and [[Tale Spin|Rebecca Cunningham]] are borderline Petting Zoo People in their [[Canon]], but are usually full-on Petting Zoo People in fanart. [[Self Fanservice|This is because furries need something that caters to their personal tastes.]]
* Babs Bunny, Fifi La Fume, Rhubella Rat, and Shirly The Loon from ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' are [[Funny Animal]]s, but are often drawn as Petting Zoo People in fanart. [[Self Fanservice|Like said example above, this is because furries need something that appeals and interests them.]]
Line 94 ⟶ 99:
* Penelope Pussycat from [[Looney Tunes]] is a [[Civilized Animal]] in the [[Canon]], but she is often drawn as a Petting Zoo Person in fanart.
** Same with the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' comics character, Honey Bunny, who is a [[Funny Animal]] in the [[Canon]].

* Some of the kemos in the web-novel ''[[Domina]]'' fall into this. Most, however, only have [[Little Bit Beastly|a few bits here and there]].
* In ''[[Harry Potter]]'' mythos, the Veela are nymph-like creatures who can change into bird-people when angered. Exactly which form is their true form is not stated.
== Live Action TV ==

== Video Games ==
Line 177 ⟶ 188:
* Female animal characters in the ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' games.
** Sly Cooper, a male animal character, is a Borderline PZP.
* The later ''[[Wizardry]]'' games has as PC races the Rawulf (canines, with low Intelligence, but high vitality and piety, making them excellent priests and lords, or valkyries for the females), Felpurr (felines, with low Piety, but high Speed and Dexterity), Mook (<s>Wookies</s> hairy Bigfoot-like people - low Piety, but high Strength, Vitality and Intelligence) and Lizardmen (all mental characteristics are low, but great Vitality and Strength). NPC races include the space-traveling rivals Umpani (warlike rhino-folk) and T'Rang (sneaky spider-folk, but still upright humanoids... even with four hands), natives of Guardia include the Rattkin (rat-folk) and Gorn (ape-like folk with fangs, sort of honourable version of Orcs) and Dominus has the Trynnies (nice, but thieving chipmunk-folk living in a [[Tree-Top Town]])... and the Rattkin who followed there {{
* The Rabbits and Pigs from ''[[SWINE]]''.
* The Argonians from ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' CRPGs are anthropomorphic lizards, yet the females have [[Non-Mammal Mammaries|mammaries]] and the males have bulging loincloths. ''Morrowind'' dropped this, however, with the females in that game having no mammaries and the males having no visible... equipment. ''Oblivion'' picked it back up though, to the point where the two beast races have human-like bodies, but are covered in fur/scales and have a tail.
Line 189 ⟶ 200:
* [[Avernum]] has the Slithzerikai and Nephilim / Nepharim, which are lizard and cat people respectively.
* ''[[Solatorobo]]'' is populated by [[Dogfaces|Caninu]] and [[Catfolk|Felineko]].
* From ''[[World of Warcraft]]'':
** Naga, snake people.
** Murlocks, fish people.
** [[Proud Merchant Race| Tortollans]], turtle people; naturally they don't like the naga much.
** Arakkoa, bird people.
** Taurens, bull and cow people
** Pandarens, panda people
** Vulpera, fox people

* The Zonai are a race introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom]]'' that are likely extinct (King Rauru is the only one who interacts with Link, and he's either a ghost or ascended spirit) but given the art depicting them in the game, they seem to have been goat-people, cat-people, and/or fox-people.
== Webcomics ==
* ''[[CHEVALIER]]'' The animal characters in this romantic fantasy adventure are a prime example. [http://shivae.net/chevalier/ Here.]{{Dead link}}
* The cast of ''[[The Cyantian Chronicles]]'' are mostly human-animal hybrids created by an [[Precursors|ancient alien race]], largely divided into digitigrade Ricael (wolves, foxes, coyotes, jackals...), and plantigrade Talin (rabbits, mice, sheep, mounties aka felines...). But there's also quite a few aliens of this form and some new hybrids (most notably fruit-scented skunks and psychic raccoons) created by the fox.
* ''[[Lackadaisy]]'' takes place in an American 1920's where all humans are cats. Other animals such as dogs and pigs exist as we know them; so even though the reader perceives the characters as cats, they are truly and essentially human.
Line 217 ⟶ 237:
* Everyone from ''[[Tasakeru]]'' is this.
* ''[[Orion's Arm]]'' has Splices and Rianths, who are Petting Zoo People created out of humans and animals via [[Lego Genetics]]. The difference between a Splice and a Rianth is based on their clade's origins (Rianths are usually descended from humans who made themselves more bestial, while splices tend to be descendants of genetically modified slaves), and is pretty muddled in general.
* In ''[[SCP Foundation]]'' lore, the Wandsmen are a cabal of wizards who explore the universe [[Proud Scholar Race| in an unending quest for knowledge]]; [[Was Once a Man| formerly humans and other mortal beings]], they have become bird people. This seems to be a side effect of the ritual that gave them their powers, and nobody (much less the Wandsmen themselves) know exactly why.
== Western Animation ==
Line 251 ⟶ 271:
* In ''[[Thundercats 2011]]'' the main cast of Thundercats are [[Beast Folk]] [[Catfolk|Cats]], but other Animals, like [[Dogfaces|Dogs]] [[Lizard Folk|Lizards]] and [[Fishmen]] are designed as this type.
* A painting of King Julien that Maurice was painting in one episode of ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' depicts him with this appearance.
* ''[[Helluva Boss]]''; hellhounds like Loona are wolf-people, [[Demon Lords and Archdevils| Stolas]] and his family are bird-people, and [[The Don| Crimson's]] henchmen are shark-people.
