The Tranquilizer gun, also known as the air-powered elephant tranquilizer, is a unique weapon used by Judy Hopps in the teaser trailer and a deleted scene for Zootopia.
Description[]
This weapon is very similar to a real-life air powered tranquilizer gun. It is white with orange zebra stripe patterns on either side, and has an open chamber located on top that can load and fire one dart at a time.
Roles[]

Nick unconscious after being shot with the tranquilizer gun by Judy
When Nick Wilde hides from Judy, Judy is able to detect him with her sharp hearing and fires an elephant tranquilizer dart at him. Nick then falls to the ground unconscious, with the dart in his rear end.
A wildebeest about to eat the dart's tuft-like stabilizer
As she writes Nick a ticket, a wildebeest comes by and, mistaking the dart's green stabilizer for a tuft of grass, eats it along with part of the dart’s tube containing the tranquillizer serum and then collapses under its effects.
Deleted Scenes[]
While chasing Nick through Little Rodentia, Judy aims and fires the gun at him and the dart misses.
Trivia[]
- The teaser trailer is obviously played for comic effect with regards to Nick being tranquilized. Unfortunately, the trailer felt the need to specifically identify the gun as an "air-power elephant tranquilizer" and as elephants weigh from 6,000 to 13,000 pounds, the effect on a 40 lb fox would be quite lethal.
