- 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. As of 2019 the site no longer works. ZipcodeZoo was an online database that collected the natural history, classification, species characteristics, conservation biology, and distribution information of thousands of species and infraspecies. It included over 800,000 photographs, 50,000 videos, 160,000 sound clips, and 3.2 million maps describing nearly 3.2 million species and infraspecies. Its content is now only available on the Internet Archive 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. ZipcodeZoo drew 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 IUCN for conservation status, and other major sources. All the pages were published under one of the Creative Commons licenses. (en)
- ZipcodeZoo是一個自由及免費的線上動物百科全書，意圖紀錄所有已知的現生物种及種下分類群。ZipcodeZoo的基礎數據編譯自已有的其他數據庫，再加上其他參與者的修訂。每個物種都有一個頁面，輔以文字、聲音、視頻及照片。這個網站由大衛·J·史坦博士所創立，但隨着史坦博士患病及離世，網站已多年沒有維護而無法連結，只能透過互联网档案馆之類的數位圖書館網站去存取其過往數據。 ZipcodeZoo是一個搜集過萬計的物種與種下分類群的自然历史、生物分类学、物种特徵、保育生物學及等信息的線上数据库。網站包括有超過80萬幅相片、5萬段视频、16萬段以及320萬幅地图，覆蓋320萬個物種和種下分類群。 ZipcodeZoo從Catalogue of Life提取其基本物種的清單，從提及地圖數據，從Flickr提取多數物種的照片，從YouTube提供視頻，保護狀態的IUCN以及其他主要來源。 所有頁面均根據Creative Commons許可證發布。 (zh)
