Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

Ask the Author; Zootopia's Districts and Climates


 

WT: Honestly...yes and no. I only have some of the districts placed and named, because I largely tried to stay on book with the maps of Zootopia I've seen floating around that are official, and I don't think they ever actually display all '12 unique districts and ecosystems”. I'm not sure if certain things are considered separate districts within districts either, at least in a canonical sense. For instance, the 'Rainforest District' has no separation from the 'canal district', at least on the map. So are they one district or two? And presumably the climate is the same, so is that not a factor in splitting districts? Sahara Square adds more confusion as it also has something called 'the canyonlands'. And is downtown a separate district from Savannah Square, or is it just marking a specific section of it?

All that said, in terms of my own work I've had to freestyle a bit. So for the sake of clarity, I'll tell you what I have so far for my version of Zootopia.

Savannah Square and Downtown – 1 District – Mild Climate

Little Rodentia – 1 District – Mild Climate

Sahara Square and the Canyonlands – 1 District – Desert Climate

The Rainforest District and Canal District – 1 District – Tropical/humid

Tundratown – 1 District – Arctic Climate

The Meadowlands – 1 District – Grassland

The North Meadowlands – 1 District – Grassland/Rural

Alpine Glade – 1 District – Cold & Mountainous

Nocturnal District – Wet/Dark

Other Areas/Outback Island, Animalia Park – Not Districts

As you can see that's about nine districts, which leaves 3 unaccounted for. But part of me wants to leave that open so that I can possibly accommodate future lore. So yeah, that's the most information I can offer. I hope this is satisfactory.
