Officer Judy Hopps is a rabbit in Disney's Zootopia. She is specifically depicted as a European rabbit from Bunnyburrow who moves to the city to become its first rabbit police officer.
Judy's species is central to the film's story. Her small size causes Chief Bogo and other officers to underestimate her, and she is initially assigned to parking enforcement rather than ordinary police work. Her determination eventually leads her to investigate the disappearance of otters, working with Nick Wilde, a red fox.
The film uses animal species as a playful framework for discussing prejudice, stereotypes, and social expectations. Judy's optimism is sometimes mistaken for naïveté, while Nick's species leads others to assume he is dishonest. Their partnership challenges those assumptions as they uncover a conspiracy affecting predators across the city.
The character's surname is officially spelled Hopps, with two p's. “Rabbit” is the broad, canonical quiz answer; “European rabbit” is the more specific description used for Judy and her family.
