What is the Zoo trend?
"Zoo" is the original song Shakira wrote and performs for Zootopia 2, where she returns as the pop star Gazelle. She wrote it with Ed Sheeran and Blake Slatkin, and it was released on October 10, 2025, weeks before the film reached theaters in late November 2025, as Film Music Reporter noted at the time.
It is a fast, joyful track with a chanted "zoo-ooh-ooh" hook, made for a party dance. Our Zoo template is high energy from the first beat. It opens with a bounce and a jump, both arms thrown up, then quick swings across the body, a little squat with wiggling hips, and a dramatic finish with the arms wide and the head tilted back.
A song about animals is a natural fit for pets, and Zoo is one of the dances we picked for our cat page. It suits babies in onesies too, especially anything with ears. Your video keeps the background of your own photo, so a living room works as well as a stage.
The moves
A bounce and a jump with both arms up, then fast arm swings across the body from side to side. A little squat with playful arms and hips, and a big finish: arms wide open, head back. High energy, fast tempo.
How to make the Zoo video
Everything runs in your browser. No editing app and nothing to film.
Step 1: Add your photo
Upload one clear photo of a baby or a cat, facing the camera, as much of the body in the frame as you can.
Step 2: Tap Make my video
The Zoo dance costs 1 credit. The AI copies the moves onto your photo while you wait, about a few minutes.
Step 3: Download and post
You get a 9 second 9:16 MP4. Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts and add the sound inside the app.
Best photo for Zoo
The photo decides most of the result. These tips are for this dance.
Works well
- Use a full-body photo, head to feet. The jump and the squat need the legs.
- Leave space above the head for the arms-up moves, so they are not cut off.
- For babies, pick a photo where they stand on their own, not one where an adult holds them.
- For cats and dogs, a sharp photo of the pet sitting or standing, facing the camera, works best.
- Bright, even light and a plain background keep the fast moves clean.
Gives weak results
- Group photos, or a second person cut off at the edge
- Faces turned away, covered or in deep shadow
- Blurry or very dark photos
- Heavy filters, stickers or text on the photo
Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts
- Your video comes without music. Add Shakira's "Zoo" sound in TikTok or Reels and start on the hook.
- Make a zoo of your own: one video for each pet or each kid, then post them as a series.
- A costume or a onesie with ears makes the video even more on theme.
Add Zoo by Shakira from the sound library of the app you post to, so your video uses the official track.
