Trivia[]

  • In the first film, mammals were the only class of animal portrayed, with the film's main setting, Zootopia, an all-mammal city despite what its name would suggest. The directors stated that the reason they only used mammals is that the predator-prey relationships are the widest in the animal world, which was a big part of the film and setting. They also stated that mammals are easier to animate as anthropomorphic creatures.[30]
    • The only mammals that did not appear in Zootopia were primates (monkeys, apes, and lemurs), domesticated dogs and cats, marine mammals (whales, dolphins, pinnipeds, etc), bats, and Australian monotremes. Their absence initially made it unclear whether they existed in the world of Zootopia. Their status was gradually clarified in subsequent materials and filmmakers.
    • According to the directors, bats and Australian monotremes exist, with bats live in the Nocturnal Disrict,[31] while monotremes are featured in the book The Stinky Cheese Caper as residents of Outback Island. A bat also makes an appearance in a toy set based on the film and in The Art of Zootopia.
    • Dingoes, which are descendants of dogs turned feral, are featured in the book The Stinky Cheese Caper. The credits also show Mayor Lionheart reading a magazine in prison called Fancy Cats that has a picture on the cover of a domestic cat, which implies that even domesticated cats exist.
    • In the CD read-along, monkey chattering is heard, which implies that primates do exist, although it is possible the sound effect was an oversight. Parody posters also apparently had someone named Annie Lemurvitz as the photographer.
    • At the 2024 D23 Expo, the Zootopia 2 exhibit and special first-look confirmed pinnipeds do exist.[9][32] Prior to this, a parody poster featured an actor named "Mark Wahlrus" (a pun on Mark Wahlberg and walrus), suggested that pinnipeds may exist, but do not live in Zootopia.[33]
  • Although only mammals were shown, it was hinted by the directors that birds, reptiles, and amphibians have their own cities on other continents.[34][35][36][30] The presence of reptiles was eventually confirmed during the promotional first look panel for Zootopia 2.[9][32]
    • Birds are mentioned in the lyrics of Try Everything, which proves they exist in the world of Zootopia.
    • Furthermore, a poster for La La Lamb, a parody of the film La La Land, has the name "Emu Stone", marking the first named bird in the film's universe.
    • Fish and invertebrates, which seem to be non-anthropomorphic, are used as a food source by the predators. The flies buzzing around Yax's head were the only non-mammalian and non-anthropomorphic animals seen throughout the first film.
  • There are at least 64 different unique species of mammal seen in the first film.[37] However, in order to tell each one apart, every single background mammal in the film is given over 1000 unique outfit combinations for each mammal to wear; some mammals always wear shorts instead of long pants due to the unusual shape of their legs, and all of the armadillo characters wear their clothes underneath their shells.
  • While being chased by Bellwether and her minions, Judy and Nick use a figure of what seems to be a jackalope as a distraction. This is the only fictional animal to appear in the film.
  • While Judy and Nick enter the Museum of Natural History, a statue of a woolly mammoth can be briefly seen at the entrance. This is the only extinct animal featured in the film.
  • It is unknown why domesticated horses, pigs, sheep, and other farm animals exist in the world of Zootopia, as there are no humans that had bred them.
  • Sheep in the film (excluding Bellwether and the lambs) have horizontal pupils like their real-world counterparts, while most other species have human-style eyes.
