Description So I've recently found out that there is a bird called secretarybirds and the way they hunt is that they pound their prey with their long legs until it dies. Simply dope. And what better way to personify those animals... you've guessed it!

Don't know how to draw a banana so I've placed a Judy in there for scale

This seems like a nice idea since I beileve birds, reptiles and amphibians do live in remote corners of Zootopia but they just don't congregate in it a lot since it can't accomidate as much for them as it can for mammals. The same goes for sea mammals

This is just perfect. Throughout the Zootopia the movie we see Judy trying to fight against stereotypes labeled to other animals, but when she meets your secretary birds as secretaries she is at a loss because it fits them so perfectly. Β

I thought Zootopia only has anthropomorphic non-primate mammals.

Β That would be a cool way to design birds if they ever had the chance to appear in Zootopia. Good job on drawing them.Β

I don't think Zootopia canonically has birds BUT these are so cool and you designed them so well it doesn't matter.

I think those birds are cranes by their long legs. If they were Eagles, their legs would be shorter.

They're actually Secretary Birds. Like, the actual bird in real life is called a "Secretary Bird." And they look pretty funky.

Oh, didn't realise there was an actual bird called Secretary Birds. But now that I know, and looked it up, great work.

This reminds me of the Disney film Bedknobs & Broomsticks. They visit the isle of Naboombu where the King (a lion) has a Secretary who I'm pretty sure is a Secretary Bird.

There's also no reptiles, fish, or insects; at least, no sapient ones. Make of that what you will.
