One big thing that Zootopia got right that so many other talking-animal movies get wrong was that they limited it only to mammals.
This eliminates the question of what the carnivores/predators eat. If the birds and fish and reptiles in your fictional world are also sentient, feeling members of society, then you have to wonder how any meat-eater survives without basically being a mass murderer.
They already established that fish aren’t sentient in this world. There’s fish markets in the 1st film and a clip of the 2nd film shows animals eating fish.

The snake is a mistake.
