Editing Zoo Code (section)

=== Zoophile attractions ===
There are many types of zoos, with the most fundamental taxonomy being dependent on which species they are most attracted to. In this code, the user self-identifies themself with an uppercase letter {{Code|Z}} (indicating an unspecified form of [[zoophilia]]) followed by one or two further uppercase letters which identify the species they are naturally inclined to seek out.

Zoophiles who are interested in more than one species should separate their code elements with a spaced [[wikipedia:Slash (punctuation)|slash (solidus)]] between each species, as in: {{Code|ZD / RE / H / W}}. The order is irrelevant; some prefer them ordered alphabetically while others find greater utility by listing them by order of preference. Note: This is not intended to be a "letter salad" of every species on your "bucket list," but rather only those without which your life would not be complete.
* {{Code|Z{{Var|[bghlst]}}}} – Specifies (optionally) the user's sexual orientation towards other humans by appending a lowercase {{Code|h}} (heterosexual) or {{Code|s}} (straight), {{Code|g}} (gay) or {{Code|l}} (lesbian), {{Code|b}} (bisexual) or {{Code|t}} (transgender) immediately after the {{Code|Z}} and preceding all other optional specifiers (i.e. gender) as well as the species code.
* {{Code|Z{{Var|[mfn]}}}} – Specifies (optionally) the user's gender identity by appending a lowercase {{Code|m}} (male), {{Code|f}} (female) or {{Code|n}} (non-binary) following the {{Code|Z}} and optional sexual orientation specifier, but prior to the species code.
