What is the surname of the rhinoceros police officer in Zootopia?

The story behind the answer

The rhinoceros police officer in Zootopia has the surname McHorn. Officer McHorn is a black rhinoceros working at the Zootopia Police Department’s 1st Precinct.

He is one of the many officers seen around Chief Bogo’s precinct, alongside characters such as Clawhauser and Officer Higgins. McHorn is not the police chief: that role belongs to Bogo, an African buffalo. The distinction matters because Bogo is the prominent authority figure, while McHorn is a supporting officer identified mainly by his uniform, species, and name.

The name is also a playful fit for the character’s animal design, combining “Mc” with “horn,” a conspicuous rhinoceros trait. Zootopia frequently uses names that hint at species or personality, but those wordplay clues are not always the character’s actual surname. McHorn should not be confused with Bogo, Wolford, or other members of the precinct.
