Bugs, birds, reptiles. In Zootopia, only mammals are anthropomorphic.
Wasn't there an alligator cop? And some kind of bird, as a mail carrier I think?
...Nope, all mammals. I wonder if there's a lore thing about only mammals being highly intelligent or if there are other places with other classes of animals?
In real life when you look at the most intelligent animals on earth, most of them are mammals. It makes sense that they would achieve human level intelligence before any other class of animal.
Many of those were birds, and I'm not sure if I agree with putting ants and bees on the intelligence list. They're behaviours are complex but not very reactive.
