Sometime after the events of the first movie, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde have become partners in the ZPD, but their clashing personalities makes them an incompatible pairing. After botching a smuggling ring, Chief Bogo threatens to separate them unless they attend a therapy session managed by quokka Dr. Fuzzby. Judy soon thinks that there might be a snake in Zootopia since during the smuggling job, she found a shedded piece of snake skin and some clues dictate that the snake might be at the annual Zootenial Gala, celebrating 100 years since the city’s founding, which is being hosted by a family of Lynxes who are descendants of Zootopia’s founder, Ebeneezer Lynxley.

Judy convinces Nick to attend the Gala with her to see if the snake will be there. At the gala, Judy befriends the awkward youngest of the Lynxley family, Pawbert. Soon, Nick notices a hooded figure on a chandelier and soon accidentally knocks it down, and the figure emerges to reveal a pit viper. As everyone panics, the viper kidnaps the Lynxley patriarch, Milton, and takes an old journal detailing the creation of the weather walls that was supposed to go on display. Judy catches up with the viper, who convinces her that snakes aren’t bad animals and the journal contains the proof he needs. As Judy begins having second thoughts, Nick arrives and knocks the viper unconscious with a frying pan.

Seeking to protect the Lynxley name, Milton accuses Judy and Nick of aiding the viper to have them arrested, but they, alongside the viper who regains consciousness, escape with the journal, with the viper leaving via motorcycle driven by a mysterious figure. Now fugitives, Judy and Nick try to track down the viper and get to the bottom of his end goal. With the help of crime boss Mr. Big, they meet a happy-go-lucky beaver, Nibbles Maplestick, who takes the two to a segregated part of Zootopia, the Marsh Market, where a community of reptiles hide in a sunken ship from the mammal population. They consult a basilisk named Jesus to figure out the viper’s whereabouts, but he tells them that this matter is bigger than they think as the journal holds a key to a past the causes reptiles to be outcasts in Zootopia.

The ZPD invade the secret hangout and in the chaos, Judy and Nick find the viper, who swallows the journal and escapes, causing the two to chase him all the way to an abandoned and unstable lodge where they find evidence of how reptiles used to reside peacefully in Zootopia. They soon argue about their situation and get separated when the cops catch up to them, with Nick getting arrested and Judy being rescued by the viper, who introduces himself as Gary De’Snake and his driver, Milton’s son, Pawbert, who recruit Judy to help them clear the bad reputation of reptiles. Nibbles, who also got arrested, helps Nick escape and Judy, Gary and Pawbert’s mission leads them to discover that Gary’s great-grandmother, Agnes, is the true author of the climate journal and the true founder of Zootopia and that Ebenezer stole credit from her and framed her for killing a tortoise who tried to stop Ebenezer from destroying a patent Agnes got from making the journal.

When the trio make it to a climate wall and figure out that the patent might be hidden in a forgotten village in Tundratown, Reptile Ravine, Pawbert betrays Judy and injects her with poison. He leaves her and Gary, whose cold-blooded biology is incompatible with cold environments, behind and steals Gary’s anti-venom pen which could cure Judy. With the help of Benjamin Clawhauser and Nick’s old sloth friend Flash, Nick and Nibbles locate Judy at the climate wall and battles Pawbert for the pen, which gets thrown out of reach during their fight near a cliff. Nick throws the pen down to Gary, who cures Judy. He and Pawbert fall off, but Judy saves and reconciles with him. The group goes to Reptile Ravine and find Agnes’ patent, showing it to the cops before the Lynxleys are able to stop them. Judy and Nick are cleared of all charges while the Lynxleys are arrested. Gary brings his family to Zootopia, and reptiles reintegrate into the city.

Additionally, Judy's younger brothers are voiced by Shakira's sons, Milan and Sasha.
