NaZooverse - Book 1: The Risen Curtain

Chapter 18 - The interview: Conclusion

Zootopia was a city of great proportions.

A place built to welcome and house all manners of mammals. As a result, the city was big and bursting with life and movement.

One of the qualities that made Zootopia stand out were the climate walls, which were developed as a way of allowing mammals of different climates to live in the city without problems. It was what made Tundratown and Sahara Square possible, as it allowed for mammals of tundra and desert to be able to live there, as they had access to their natural climates so they could live comfortably.

It also had Rainforest District made out by giant live trees and an artificial irrigation system, which made possible to recreate with perfection the environment of a Rainforest, for the animals accustomed to live there.

Other districts composed the city, including the Canal District, which was made for mammals who had a semi-aquatic lifestyle, like otters and beavers; and also the Nocturnal District, which was famous for being a shady place, manner of all kinds of mammals, and the district with the highest crime rate of the entire city.

Each one of these artificial ecosystems interacted with each other, and they allowed for the animals of Zootopia to be able to live in this big city, as they were all hold together by the central part of this city: Savanna Central.

Savanna Central was truly the heart of Zootopia, being the main industrial and residential area of the city. It was the place where resided most of the big buildings and businesses, and it was where all of the animals from the other districts converged during the day or night, before they were to go back to their natural habitats to rest and enjoy their natural place.

It was truly the central piece of the city, once it was at that very place where the ancestors of predator and prey first gathered to live together in harmony (as far as the stories told). It was also where were housed many key buildings of the city, including City Hall, Precinct 1 of the ZPD, and Central Station.

The Central Station, in particular, was something that usually was bursting with life, for it was where all the mammals of the city went to move into the many trains in and out of the city. It was possible to see all types of mammals in there, from residents going into the trains to go into other parts of the city, to all manners of newcomers that came to the city, either to live in it or to make some tourism.

As they walked in, all of them could see the main square of Zootopia, and they were greet with a bursting city into their view, which welcomed them all into the city. Quite literally, actually, once the main square just outside of the Central Station also counted with a huge digital billboard that showed the likeness of no one other than Gazelle, the Jewel of Zootopia, posing and welcoming anyone who was coming into the city.

Of course, it didn't only showed Gazelle all the time, as this giant billboard also showed other things, like commercials that industries and companies got to show in there by buying time. It would also occasionally showed something interesting that was passing on the channels, which the ones in charge thought was worth showing in such a big place and that was seen by so much mammals.

It was the case of a special interview that the ZNN was showing on that very evening, and that was being televised all over Zootopia, and that was now being showed into that big place for everyone who was walking across Savanna Central.

As it did, it was a matter of time for it to catch the attention of many mammals walking into the street, causing them to look up at the great digital screens to see the interview. In no time there was a huge crowd reunited in Savanna Central. A crowd formed by the many mammals who had left the work and were about to catch the train back home, who arrived in the city and had their attention caught by the news, or by those who were only walking into Downtown to take care of some other business.
