Wasn't he a rabbit rather than a walrus?
BTW Dangermouse's voice was provided by David Jason who also appears on some of the H2G2 radio shows.

I'm not sure what I believed Colonel K to be, but I'm quite certain "walrus" wasn't it. Everyone else seems roughly to scale-- mouse, hamster, frog, crow... my understanding of walruses (walrii?) is that they're closer to human size. True?
Besides, Paul is the Walrus.

I always thought of K as a walrus myself. Scale was used quite freely in the series, and I was never quite sure what size things were supposed to be. In general, DM and Penfold seemed to be curb-high when walking down the street, and seemed to live in a human-sized world, but we never see a human. I remember an episode in which we see various world leaders being attacked with the Giggleococcus virus, and they are all animals seemingly on the scale of DM & co. I'm not sure it was one of the more consistent shows on TV, but I wouldn't miss it for the world when it was on.

I've always heard that K was a walrus.
There's humans in Custard, the first episode of the second series. But not alongside any nanimals so we can draw comparisons...

I have got no idea what animal Col K was supposed to be, but that David Jason narrated it should be mentioned, as he helped make the program so great. Especially when it was shown in 5 minute episodes everyday instead of in one lump. I always remember the one where DM fell off a cliff every episode and it was hilarious when David Jason recapped on the Friday. Or maybe thats just me.

re scale of K and DM, as we never see them together, just on video screens you simply cannot tell. As to CK's specie I never gave it any thought, but a quick check and, well I still don't know.

I am rather embarrased to say that I used to own a Dangermouse annual and I seem to remember reading that Colonel K was a rabbit in it, despite the huge walrus moustache.
Also Stilleto is apparently the son of an italian judge called
Just Juan Cornetto - (great gag)
