Line 21:
The site and its sister site lookup.life include a number of specialized search functions, such as identifying a bird species from its color, shape and other traits, including where it was seen; or generating a list of plants or animals likely to be found in or near a specific ___location (a zipcode, state, country, latitude/longitude, etc.). The searches can be restricted to specific taxa, or broad categories like reptiles or fish. A sound trainer can play multiple bird song recordings simultaneously.
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, the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature|IUCN]] for conservation status, and other major sources.<ref>such as the [http://taxonomicon.taxonomy.nl/ Taxonomicon] {{wayback|url=http://taxonomicon.taxonomy.nl/ |date=20090824160507 }} for taxonomic information.</ref>
ZipcodeZoo's next big project is finding a way to remove the garbage, particularly plastics, from the internet.
