			===[[Alfred J. Kwak\|The animated series]]
			Alfred is a yellow duck with an orange beak and flippers. Initially, he is depicted without clothing, but after being adopted by his foster father, [[Henk de Mol]], he receives a pair of blue [[wikipedia:Overalls\|overalls]] and a red-and-dark-red striped wool [[wikipedia:Scarf\|scarf]] with tassels. The scarf remains with Alfred throughout the series and becomes an iconic, unchanging element of his character design.

			As a child, Alfred is shown with several chest hairs and a scruffy patch at the back of his head. After he matures into adulthood, these features are replaced by three long hairs that curl forward from the top of his head. These are occasionally animated to reflect his emotional state.
