Line 11:
* They may feature animal-like claws or pads on their hands, or may stand on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitigrade digitigrade] feet resembling the animal's hind legs.
* Their body frame can be measured by human proportions, e.g: six to eight "heads" tall, legs comprising half their body height, etc.
* They may possess [[Non -Mammal Mammaries|humanlike breasts]], which [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] 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 Animals]]), which is not very common for [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]], particularly [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal|the clothing]]-[[Accessory -Wearing Cartoon Animal|adverse type]]. Footwear is less likely if they have digitigrade feet.
* 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.
Line 19:
* While [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] and [[Civilized Animal|Civilized Animals]] are sometimes or often treated like "normal" animals in their world, Petting Zoo People are almost never treated like normal animals in their world.
 
In-universe, Petting Zoo People are generally a distinct species from both humans and animals (as opposed to a [[Half -Human Hybrid]]), assuming the [[Elephant in The Living Room|subject is actually brought up]] rather than [[Law of Conservation of Detail|simply glossed over]], and may inhabit a [[World of Funny Animals]].
 
There are two variants of PZP beside the standard variant, "Borderline Petting Zoo People", and "Borderline [[Little Bit Beastly]]".

* [[The Reptilians]]
* [[Wolf Man]]
{{examples|Examples}}
 
== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Anime)|Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' has a whole race of them, the Beastmen.
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima (Anime)|Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', the Magical World seems mostly composed by [[Kemonomimi|Kemonomimis]], 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.
* Tony Tony Chopper from ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'' fits this trope while in his [[Half -Human Hybrid|hybrid form]]. However, his normal form is a [[Funny Animal]] (he is a reindeer) while his human form is a [[Beast Man]].
** Foxy also had three rat Petting Zoo People in his crew who helped him prepare for the grand match of Davy Back Fight.
* In ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'', Sajin Komamura appears to be this.
Line 91:
* Disney characters [[Robin Hood (Disney)|Maid Marian]], [[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animation)|Gadget Hackwrench]], and [[Tale Spin (Animation)|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 (Animation)|Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' are [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]], 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.]]
* Fanart of Cleo from ''[[Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats (Animation)|Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats]]'' usually shows her with [[Non -Mammal Mammaries|Wrong-Type-of-Mammal Mammaries]], which she does not have in the show's [[Canon]].
* Most ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' characters are actually [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]], but most of them are usually drawn as Petting Zoo People in fanart, especially the female characters.
* Sawyer from ''[[Cats Don't Dance (Animation)|Cats Don't Dance]]'' is a [[Funny Animal]] on the verge of looking like a borderline PZP in the movie, but is a Petting Zoo Person in most fanart.
Line 104:
* Dr. Delbert Doppler, Captain Amelia, and their children from ''[[Treasure Planet]]''.
* ''[[Planet of the Apes]]''.
* The statue of West Eastman High School's mascot (a bald eagle) from ''[[AlvinandtheAlvin and the Chipmunks (Film)|Alvinandthe Chipmunks]]: The Squeakquel'' has a muscular human frame.
* The rats in ''[[Flushed Away]]''.
* Beans and Angelique the vixen in ''[[Rango]]'' are PZP.
Line 178:
* The Rawulf race of the later ''[[Wizardry (Video Game)|Wizardry]]'' games are described as descended from dogs. Their statline emphasizes vitality and piety, making them excellent priests and especially valkyries for the females.
* 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.
* Felica from ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]'' is a borderline case between this trope and [[Little Bit Beastly]].
* The majority of female characters in ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'', though Tawna and the ''[[Crash Team Racing]]'' trophy girls are standout examples. Coco Bandicoot and Pasadena Opossum border as such [[Depending On the Artist]].
Line 235:
* The ''[[Swat Kats (Animation)|Swat Kats]]'' cast, though some of the characters are Borderline [[Little Bit Beastly]].
* [[Goofy]], [[Goof Troop|Max]], [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Gyro Gearloose]], and [[Duck Tales (Animation)|Launchpad McQuack]] are different from [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Donald Duck]], fitting Borderline PZP or PZP more than they do [[Funny Animal]]. While they do have obviously dishuman features they are still far more humanoid than most of Disney's creations in the animal zoo world they live in.
** But Goofy's prototype, Dippy Dawg, was [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal|halfdressed]] and more or less a [[Funny Animal]].
** In a similar vein to the above, the three Nephews and Daisy were shifted into a borderline PZP style during ''[[Quack Pack (Animation)|Quack Pack]]''. Donald, however, retained his standard design (although his body stands up a little straighter than normal, but not by enough to change where he falls).
* Ren's parents from ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show (Animation)|Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon]]''.
Line 242:
* Many of the female cats in ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'' including Toodles Galore are either PZP or borderline PZP.
* Mordecai on ''[[Regular Show (Animation)|Regular Show]]'' is basically a naked humanoid blue jay, somewhere between a [[Funny Animal]] and a Borderline PZP. His crush, Margaret (a cardinal), is even closer to this trope, as is Rigby's older brother Don (despite also being nude). Mordecai's somewhat humanoid design contrasts quite a lot with Rigby's raccoon appearance, which isn't humanized that much.
** Despite being about the same size as Rigby, Eileen probably counts. She's a mole with a [[Furry Female Mane]], [[Non -Mammal Mammaries|human-like breasts]], and "fur" the color of a human skintone. Only her tail makes it obvious she's not human.
* Fox from ''[[Skunk Fu]]'' is a Borderline PZP.
* The entire cast of ''[[Animalympics (Animation)|Animalympics]]''.
