Doug's lab is a laboratory housed within an old subway car owned by sheep scientist Doug Ramses in Zootopia. Doug used the lab to farm and weaponize mind-altering flowers called Night howlers to turn predators savage, as the central part of Dawn Bellwether's plan to use the fear of these savage predators to keep herself in power.

Description[]

Doug's lab is an old train car that has been made to look as if abandoned for some time. On the outside, it is very rusty, covered in graffiti and all the side windows are covered with a black material. However, the inside is quite clean as it contains a small Night howler farm, with purple lights above the flowers, a vat, and a small chemistry lab, as well as a transit map of the entire city of Zootopia, showing the subway lines and the locations where Doug has darted the predators who have gone missing. Despite its old and rusty appearance, the train is still functional.

Role in the Film[]

Doug's lab is seen near the climax of the film when Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde after Duke Weaselton reveals that he collects Night howlers for Doug and they have an underground drop spot at the closed Banyon Street Station. While exploring the station, Judy and Nick notice an apparently abandoned train car and sneak inside to find a small Night howler farm and laboratory. They quickly dive under a table just as Doug walks into the room.

Wearing protective clothing, Doug takes a pot full of harvested Night howlers and converts the flowers into a serum, which he then transfers to a small glass paintball-like pellet, and loads into a dart gun. After hearing Woolter and Jesse arrive with a latte for him, Doug opens the door, giving Judy the opportunity to kick him outside and be locked out. She then starts the train car and drives it away intending to deliver the evidence to the ZPD.

With Jesse and Woolter hot on their tails, Judy and Nick drive the car through the subway tunnel and onto open track. While they eventually rid themselves of the two tough rams they face a head-on collision with an oncoming train. Judy is able to activate a switch track to narrowly avoid the train, however their fast speed causes their car to jump the track and crash. The car explodes destroying all the Night howler evidence. All except for a case containing Doug's dart gun and a serum pellet, which Nick had managed to retrieve before they fled the crashing car.

  • When Nick and Judy first spot the abandoned lab car, another train passes quickly through the station. As it does so, the "camera" briefly shakes.
