'''ZipcodeZoo''' is a free, online encyclopedia intended to document all living [[species]] and [[infraspecies]] known to science. It is compiled from existing databases. It offers one page for each living species, supplementing text with video, sound, and images where available.

ZipcodeZoo is an online [[database]] that collects the [[natural history]], [[Biological classification|classification]], [[species]] characteristics, [[conservation biology]], and [[Range (biology)|distribution]] [[information]] of thousands of species and [[infraspecies]]. It includes over 800,000 [[photographs]], 50,000 [[video]]s, 160,000 [[media clip|sound clip]]s, and a 3.2 million [[maps]] describing nearly 3.2 million species and infraspecies.

ZipcodeZoo draws on the [[Catalogue of Life]] for its basic species list, the [[Global Biodiversity Information Facility]] for its maps, [[Flickr]] for many of its photos, [[YouTube]] for videos, [[Xeno-canto]] for some of its sound recordings, and other major sources.<ref>such as the [http://taxonomicon.taxonomy.nl/ Taxonomicon] for taxonomic information.</ref>
