A zoo infobox may be used to summarize information about a particular zoo, aquarium, or aviary in a standard manner. Many of the parameters can be omitted if desired; the choice of which parameters are appropriate for a particular zoo, aquarium, or aviary is left to the discretion of the article editors.

The infobox should be added using the {{Infobox zoo}} template, as shown below:
