Yes, you are. If you were not then you would be naturally repulsed by it. Just fantasize about it some more and see where it goes. Good luck and welcome to Zooville. Feel free to ask any questions. Spend some time and read through the posted threads. After a while, you'll know for certain.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily count everyone aroused by animal porn as zoophile. Could be just the sex and the newness of this type that is the arousing factor. To be a zoophile even in the official sense you'd have to be aroused by the animal. And to count as a zoophile like we use the word you'd also have to feel a deep affection towards animals - or at least a specific animal.
Zoophiles love their animal partners sexually, emotionally, and romantically in much the same way a human loves their human partner.
Bestialists like having sex with animals. They can view their animal partners as close friends, just pets, or (sadly) simply a living sex toys.
Fetishists get off on watching and imaging but would never actually do the deed.
So, based on the limited information you've provided...maybe? Probably not though, because emotional and romantic feeling wasn't mentioned. But there's nothing inherently wrong with being a beast, so long as you take proper care of your partner. Also nothing wrong with simply liking the porn. Provide more information and we can better pigeon hole you into a textbook definition.

@FenrisXiii you are free to use whatever label you feel comfortable with. It’s probably best that most people do because there are so many labels and they all use convoluted and sometimes confusing definitions and there’s a lot of gray crossover area.
To me zoophilia definitely requires love beyond what is normal regarding animals. The suffix “philia” literally means “an abnormal love for a specific thing” which in zoophilia obviously means animals, because the prefix “zoo” means “animal.” You can actually be an asexual zoo, feeling the love but not expressing it physically. Consider the terms used to describe humans, asexual and aromantic. Bestiality is the act, zoophilia is the feeling. Not the feeling of lust, the feeling of emotional and romantic attraction.
Sex to me is merely the physical expression of those feelings. If I had to give one up, the emotional or physical, I would gladly give up sex. The sex is a want, the emotional bond is a need.
