Zoo was a British softcore lad magazine published weekly by Bauer Media Group with periods of an Australian and South African editions. It was launched on 29 January 2004, and for a time was the UK's only men's weekly after the similar and rival magazine Nuts closed in April 2014.[2]

On 17 November 2015, Zoo announced on its website that it would be suspending publication.[3]

Zoo consisted of a mix of comedy news, sports commentary, photos of glamour models, jokes (of the pub joke style), an entertainments guide (covering TV, cinema, video/computer games and music), fashion/grooming and comical/rude pictures sent in by readers.
