Different Scene!

From a clip on Facebook!

I have 2 shots!

NICK'S LOCKER IS RIGHT NEXT TO JUDY'S! WHY???!! ON THE GROUND. He could've grabbed the locker above hers--ya know, to COMFORTABLY accommodate/match his HEIGHT!

But no, he has to sit/squat/stoop/kneel on the ground next to her whenever he needs to get his things.

AND not like 1 or 2 lockers down.

RIGHT next to her!

Think of how quietly flirty and intimate they can be at that distance without drawing too much attention! 😏 I'm just saying!

2000% sure he had to request that specific locker because I believe there's just no way, otherwise! 😁😁😁

Annnnnnd next shot....

OKAY do you guys see it?

The first thing I noticed when watching the clip was the spot of orange in her locker, and I was like.."orange fur....wait, does she have a picture of Nick in her locker?!!"

Annnd, she does!

Of her and Nick together! 💕

But with "Losers" scrawled over it? 🥺

You know why??

.....the "Ze-Bros" had JUST broken into/vandalized Judy's locker seconds/moments before.

THEY did that. 😡 And doodle a mustache on their faces while they were at it! Ugh!

....I don't think she realized yet because she was so focused on talking to Nick about how to get Bogo to not split them up. But when she DOES realize, those Zebras are gonna have hell to pay, I promise you! Judy doesn't play about her partner!

This has already been covered by others but I still wanna share it 'cause I just learned about it.

Gene Zebraxton (left) and Gene Zebrowski (right) appear to be two zebras that are partners and close friends.

But look closer and you might notice that Zebrowski looks a little different than his partner: his stripes are less numerous and less defined, his mane is longer and wavier, his muzzle is a different shape, and there are hints of brown around his muzzle, eyes, and wrists.

What's the significance of this? Well, Zebrowski might not be a zebra at all, but a horse disguised as one!

His body might be covered in some sort of fur paint or makeup explaining the chestnut brown of his normal fur peeking through around his muzzle, eyes, and hooves.

His stripes could be painted on, explaining how unnatural they look.

His mane might be dyed to have the same striped look as Zebraxton's but there's not really much that could be done about stiffness or texture without sacrificing the style.

He might wear long sleeves so he doesn't have to disguise his arms.

Taking a look at concept art from the The Art of Zootopia 2, originally Gene and Gene were likely meant to both be zebras, based on the matching muzzle shapes and the tails:

But then somewhere along the way this 'not a zebra' idea came up, because look at Zebrowski's tail. That's a horse tail. No zebras have that tail.

However something interesting is that in the film, Zebrowski does have what looks to be a normal zebra tail. This could of course be some sort of wrap or something but it's still a curious detail.

Also at first I assumed he was just a different species of zebra — mountain zebra have a browner part around the muzzle for example — but none really line up too well with his features.

Now, if he actually is a horse trying to look like a zebra then why would he do this?

It could be a disguise (removing his zebra look would make him much less recognizable while undercover), it could be so he can match his partner ('cause what are the Zebros if one isn't a zebra?), or maybe Zebrowski is just not happy being a horse and prefers to identify as a zebra, and this is just a personal choice unrelated to his job.

In any case, none of this has been officially confirmed or denied from what I can find, so until then I'm just going to headcanon that Gene Zebrowski is a horse in disguise.
