Hello, my fellow Zootopians! Prepare to get Z.A.P.ped! It's time for this week's edition of the Zootopia Appreciation Post, or Z.A.P. for short. Every Saturday, I'm gonna be posting a different Zootopia-related topic that we can all discuss.

For today's topic, I would like to talk about Dr. Zander Orshack.

Zander

Apologies for not doing this on Saturday.

Dr. Zander Orshack is a male zebra in The Official Zootopia Handbook. He is the curator of the Natural History Museum.

According to the handbook, Zander has worked at the Natural History Museum for the past twelve years.

In an interview, he states his love for his job and how he gets to "piece together the past like a puzzle". He goes on to say that his favorite exhibit is the "Ancient Giants" exhibit, and how he looks around trying to figure out which ones he is related to.

He recommends the "Mammal Mummies" exhibit as a museum must-see, saying that King Mutt is his favorite mummy on account of the folklore about it being cursed.

Finally, he mentions that he plays the flute in a jazz band called the "Jazzy Z's" on Wednesday nights.

I love how much work was put into a character that wasn't in the movie, but is a part of the world-building process!

So, what do you guys think? Sound off in the comments below!
