How common is this? I figure because of this forum it’s likely more common, but like I always found the concept fascinating. Anyone in this category?

No shortage of zoo exlcusives, I'm one; been ZE for a long time now.
The research seems to suggest it's a sexuality, but there's a fair bit of variety in us as a group and attempts to generalize a group based on sexuality doesn't tend to work well. We range from high end professionals to the disabled, incomes and education likewise span the range.
If you have specific questions, you'll probably get better responses if you ask them as a general question like the above is likely to get generic responses like this one.
Most in the zoo-exclusive community tend to agree loosely on a few things, that care of companions is as important as care of oneself, that they can reject requests for sex if they're not interested, and that they tend to be respected as individuals. There's some variation, but I think that covers most of us.
As for how common is it? I don't think there's any good data on this. Most studies suggest that about 5% of males and 3% of females have engaged in some bestiality, but what percentage of those go on to maintain exclusive relationships? I don't know, perhaps 2% of those who experiment has been my best guess; so in 1 in 1000 people? Maybe less, maybe a lot less? We really could benefit from some detailed study, but due to fears it's often hard to get us to identify when we can't be anonymous.
Edit: we're fairly well represented here, but I believe we're still a small minority even here.

I think for some it is a matter of difficulty finding a human partner without being outted and/or risking the lives of their animals. I know several that might have found trusted zoo friends, but never paired off seemingly due to lack of compatibility and general scarcity.

I think that probably covers some. I've tried human partners and for me, it just doesn't work; it's like a gay man trying to be straight or straight trying to be gay. I can go through the motions and fake it, but the feelings just aren't there.
As for pairings, I'm aware of a few zoo-exclusive pairings and have been in some myself. Like most relationships there are ups and downs and without trust and open communications it's very unlikely to last in the long term. I think many of us tend to be a bit less socially skilled, but again it's hard to generalize on a sexuality due to the diversity of the broad community.
I don't think there's any data out there on zoo-exclusive pairings, maybe there should be, but I'd say it's probably a bit better odds than the typical relationship, but probably not by much.
One of the hardest parts in finding a compatible human partner in a ZE relationship (yes, partner. There might not be any sex, but it's definitely a partnership for mutual advantage) is finding someone you mesh well with who's willing to relocate to where you are or you to them. Most of the time the self-starters and ones who make reliable partners tend to be well established themselves and it's hard for most to pick up and go. Most people have careers, families, friends, etc that keep them rooted where they are. There's no shortage of good folks, just we're scattered far and wide.
My guess after a few years of being here is that from the people who post often maybe about 10 are zoo exclusive. It is quite rare and for every single exclusive user there are several thousand fetishists.

I have collected a number or studies, books and articles dealing with zoophilia over the past years. So here I would like to share them with whoever is interested.

The idea of me having sex with another human disgusts me, but im fine bing none sexual propperty to one. Thankfully its a understanding owner that loves me with animals
Well i have always been zoo-exclusive and never felt any attraction towards humans.
Til the age of around 30 i was convinced that I was normal and into women. When the right woman comes, what I've been always told that this will be, I believed she will somehow flip a little switch and I will be really into it then.
Later I met a person I really got along with and liked...as a friend and was so happy and enthusiastic.
The day when we tried to get it on turned into a disaster. Nothing worked, neither smell, look or anything.
It was a very strange feeling and i didn't get a boner at all. We tried a few things and it didn't work at all.
I am one but I do not like the human species.

Surely it's less uncommon than finding a genuine zoo 
I'm zoo exclusive myself, never had any relationship with a human nor carnal desire for one, I can tolerate the sight of a naked man, but I'm highly disgusted by watching a woman's body (sorry ladies, it's how it works for me), so, the desire for animals is the only thing that I recognize as real attraction...

I wouldn't say I'm zoo exclusive anymore but for a good 10 years I was. The thought of being with humans left a bad taste in my mouth due to past relationships ending with me getting cheated on. But 10 years later I'm open to the idea again but hesitant. I think I'm more just willing to just have sexual encounters with friends I truly know

Thought I was until I met my boyfriend. We're still both undeniably zoo though!

Some might say I am zoo-exclusive because I have no sexual interest in people. Others, however, might say I am not zoo-exclusive because years ago I did have a sexual relation with a human. It was nice while it lasted, but after we broke up, I realised my interests were firmly located in the stables. So, based on previous experiences I could say I am zoo-exclusive, but you could also say I am not because of these previous experiences, or because I am not ruling out anything (changes are microscopically small though). Either way, I tend not to get too hung up about these "genuine zoo-exclusive" labels.

I consider myself zoo-exclusive, but when I was younger there were some humans I kept trying with; mostly because I believed the BS that "when I found the right one, everything would change". Surprse, nothing really changed. I don't regret it per-se, sure it was a waste of everyone's time and effort, but I learned empirically that humans just aren't my thing and there are no moments of doubt because I've had those experiences and I was not satisfied. I personally think an uncommon sexuality was way harder to deal with in the pre-internet days, the isolation and nearly complete lack of resources to help me understand really held me back.
I don't tend to get too hung up on labels though, I think some experimentation is normal and doesn't really matter. I've not had a human sexual relationship in nearly 30 years, I think my preferences are pretty well established; what matters most to me are my feelings for the canines I love. If someone loves their non-human companion(s) and treats them accordingly, I don't care if they have a relationship with a human, past, present, or future; it's their love and treatment of the non-human which we share in common that helps build that zoo bridge.

There is not a lot of accurate research, and moreover, due to fear/ignorance, they may also be false.
Roughly 3-5% based on some zoo research, based on the Kinsey zoo scale poll here, 7% of this is exclusive. I looked for exclusive people in Telegram groups, the number of staff and the proportion of members applying was about 5-7%.
However, some of them voted for this as they currently do not have a partner, but will/want to in the future. So it's not actually exclusive, it's misinterpreting its meaning. And I see that this is common, let's say half of the cases.
This is about 0.15%, so 1-2 people out of 1000 are exclusive.
I don't know, these are quite rough calculations, but it can be a good guideline.

I would consider myself zoo exclusive despite an occasional human escapade.
Thing is animal love us what really moves me. Human is just some very occasional take & give pleasure with friend, have to push myself to finish and I do so a bit meagerly, (yes, sometimes thinking zooish to finish) so... Humans are the kink to me, I suppose. I just enjoy seeing the other happy, even if it takes sex to accomplish the goal.

I started many many years ago with my female golden whom took my virginity. I do believe fully that I was born this way. The only attraction I have ever known since I can remember was towards female dogs. I am very female dog exclusive, and even then I'm exclusive to my current female girl. No disrespect intended but human females/males acturaly kind of gross me out and turn me off. For me it is so much more than just the sex it is true, extremely and deep bond and love between me and my mate. It is like we complete each other. You could say it is like a man and wife in a normal relationship in a way, but also feels so much deeper.

For all those reading, if you are ZE, would you give it up for another human? Or would you prefer the company of your animal? I want to find a zoo partner, but I don't want be disregaurded by a ZE.

I am ZE for the past couple years after many attempts to make human connections. I would only consider a human partner that was also ZE. My attraction and sexual desires are primarily for dogs. I love my k9 partner more than I’ve ever loved a human. I believe zoo is my sexuality which I fully accept. I don’t think it matters whether you figured it out early or yesterday.

In those cases I'd say your best chance is a common life fir convenience.
Each one his animals, or sharing, that is up to you, life as friends with common interests and "partners in crime" knowing you can be yourself with the other one.
Then, if something more... intimate in nature comes along and you both are ok with it, no reason not to.
As someone told me once... Just two good friends exploring and having fun together.
It did work. For almost a decade. Then came along a sudden burst that made me feel he was not 100% zoo safe and... all went shit, plans and all.
In short... get a partner, have fun, reach where you could not alone, but your animals are more reluable and less changing

What do you mean by 100% zoo safe?

there's nothing to give up... i'm not zoo-exclusive because i can't "get" a human, i'm zoo-exclusive because i'm literally not interested in even trying to.
i'm a bit pedantic on this, but i think ppl who are with an animal because they currently don't have a human partner (bad break-up or other "bad" experience with a human partner) aren't really zoo-exclusive. ppl who are with animals, because they lack any interest/attraction to humans are.

Fellow zoo you rely your life to, but has a sudden odd moment of doubt / regret / gilt that made all red flags jump and actually scared the heck of me.
Still zoo. Still in contact. But no longer plans, and keeping low profiles one with the other.
Sad... It would have been great.

Still, do not let anyone spoil your plans with "it won't work". It sometimes... many times works!.
Just note others opinions and experiences so you are ready for every scenario.
