"Zoophile" is a formal term for a person who is sexually attracted to animals. It comes from the Greek roots "zoo-" (animal) and "-phile" (lover of), and has been used in medical, legal, and psychological contexts since the early 20th century. The term is primarily clinical or descriptive, used in research, law enforcement, or discussions of paraphilias. It is not slang, but it is strongly associated with illegal and socially condemned behavior. Its use is neutral in technical contexts, but highly negative in social or moral contexts.
