'''ZipcodeZoo''' was a free, online encyclopedia intended to document all living [[species]] and [[infraspecies]] known to science. It was compiled from existing databases. It offered one page for each living species, supplementing text with video, sound, and images where available. ZipcodeZoo was integrated into an app called Lookup Life<ref>''[https://www.treehugger.com/gadgets/free-app-helps-you-identify-plants-and-animals.html This free app helps you identify the plants and animals around you]'' from TreeHugger 2015/07/07</ref>. As of 2019 the site no longer works.
ZipcodeZoo was an online [[database]] that collected the [[natural history]], [[Biological classification|classification]], [[species]] characteristics, [[conservation biology]], and [[Range (biology)|distribution]] [[information]] of thousands of species and [[infraspecies]]. It included over 800,000 [[photographs]], 50,000 [[video]]s, 160,000 [[media clip|sound clip]]s, and 3.2 million [[map]]s describing nearly 3.2 million species and infraspecies.
The site and its sister site lookup.life included 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 could be restricted to specific taxa, or broad categories like reptiles or fish. A sound trainer could play multiple bird song recordings simultaneously.
