What is the name of the cheetah officer at the Zootopia Police Department?

The story behind the answer

The cheetah officer at the Zootopia Police Department is Clawhauser.

Officer Benjamin Clawhauser works at the department’s first precinct and is one of the police employees Judy Hopps encounters after joining the force. He is usually stationed at the front desk, where his cheerful personality contrasts with Chief Bogo’s stern leadership.

Clawhauser is notably obsessed with doughnuts and with the pop star Gazelle. His enthusiastic fan behavior provides comic relief, but he is also a capable police officer and a supportive colleague. Nate Torrence provides his voice in the original English-language film.

Viewers sometimes confuse Clawhauser with Chief Bogo, the department’s Cape buffalo chief, or Officer McHorn, a rhinoceros. Wolfard is another officer in the precinct, but he is a wolf, not a cheetah. Clawhauser’s distinctive spotted coat and broad face make him one of the film’s most recognizable supporting characters.
