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).
