Contents

Officer Bucheron is a markhor and a ZPD officer assigned to Precinct 1 in We Can Fix Pawbert. He is partnered with Chevre, a bighorn sheep, and the two complement each other well---horns and hooves, built for breaking through.

Background

Bucheron serves as a patrol officer at Precinct 1. His impressive horns are not just for show---they make him highly effective in physical confrontations. His partnership with Chevre combines their respective strengths into an effective tactical unit.

Series History

Season 4

S04E19 "Operational Surprise"

Bucheron and Chevre attend mandatory weekend compliance training at Precinct 1. The partners sit in the middle of the conference room, exchanging occasional looks of shared suffering as the marmot trainer drones through bureaucratic protocols.

Season 5

S05E03 "Soft Target"

Bucheron attends the joint ZSI-ZPD briefing for the Meridian Shipping warehouse raid alongside his partner Chevre. He comments quietly to Chevre about how long the foreign operatives have been inside Zootopia's weather wall system, noting it predates half of them making detective. During the operation, Bucheron and Chevre cover the north corner---the least likely exit, which means it is exactly where someone desperate might try. When two runners emerge, the markhor takes a swing to the jaw and barely staggers. His partner puts the second runner down with a shoulder check.

S05E21 "Final Position"

During the final assault on Icener's position, Bucheron coordinates near his cruiser with Chevre during pre-operation staging. During the eastern assault, he sprints to a wounded tapir officer from Precinct 3, grabs him by the vest, and drags him toward cover while calling for a medic.

Later in the assault, Chevre is hit with rounds to the leg and side. Bucheron drags his wounded partner toward medical staging, leaving a blood trail, desperately telling him to stay with him.

Key Relationships
