Meet Wally Gator

Wally Gator is the main character of the show. He is a friendly and happy alligator who acts like a human. Wally wears a collar and a cool pork pie hat. He loves to have fun and explore.

Wally's Home and Adventures

Even though his catchy theme song says he's a "swingin' alligator of the swamp," Wally actually lives in a city zoo. The zookeeper, Mr. Twiddle, always keeps a close eye on Wally. This is because Wally often tries to escape the zoo. He wants to see what the world outside is like!

The Voices Behind the Characters

The voice of Wally Gator was done by Daws Butler. He made Wally sound a lot like the famous comedian Ed Wynn. Mr. Twiddle, the zookeeper, was voiced by Don Messick. These talented voice actors helped bring the characters to life.
