Zoophilic
2. Seeking or preferring animals. When used in this sense, the term usually refers to the presence of a parasite that prefers an animal host besides a human. A parasite is any organism that lives in or on another living being (known as the host), gains an advantage by doing so, but causes disadvantage to the being it is living on. Zoophilic comes from the Greek word "zoon" meaning "animal," the Greek word "philos" meaning "loving," and the Greek word "ikos" meaning "pertaining to." Put the words together and you have "pertaining to animal loving."
1. Relating to or displaying zoophilia. Zoophilia means the same thing as bestiality. Bestiality is an unusual and socially unacceptable condition in which human beings achieve sexual arousal and orgasm through engaging in sexual activities with lower animals or fantasizing about such activities.
