The Rainforest District: Zootopia’s tropical paradise, a verdant green ecosystem, kept warm and humid year round by cutting edge climate control technology.

Everywhere in the Rainforest District, waterfalls and lush vegetation abound, while a myriad of watercraft ply the rivers that bisect the community and brightly colored blimps float serenely through the sky.

That’s The Rainforest District, only 15 minutes from Savanna Central by sky tram. (Right click and open in new tab.)

Get your art after the break!

Source [11] Like any good mob driver, Mr. Manchas is always careful to check under the hood before starting his day. Okay, oil’s fine, tranny-fluid level is okay, battery’s in decent order…and no bombs anywhere; we’re good to go.
