Quacker (also known as Little Quacker ) is a recurring character in the Tom and Jerry series. He is a yellow duckling. Quacker is normally getting chased by Tom in the Tom and Jerry series and Jerry is trying to save Quacker from getting eaten by Tom. Quacker was later adapted into the Hanna-Barbera character Yakky Doodle. He appears in Little Quacker ,  Just Ducky , Downhearted Duckling , Southbound Duckling , That's My Mommy , Happy Go Ducky , and The Vanishing Duck . Quacker talks a lot compared to Tom and Jerry. In many shorts, he is the only one who speaks. He's very trusting, even trusting Tom in many situations in which Tom wishes to eat him. He's a friend of Jerry, but unlike Jerry, he harbors no hard feelings towards Tom. Quacker is often mistaken as appearing in  The Duck Doctor , but the Duck appearing in that short is a wild duck.

Characteristics [ ]

Personality [ ], appearance [ ].

Quacker is a childlike yellow duck. Although he is considered a yellow duck, the only exception is the short The Duck Doctor , where Quacker has an appearance of an American duck, because of the fact that the people at MGM tried to prevent Quacker from being confused with Cuckoo , the little bird that has a similar appearance to Quacker.

Little Quacker

While mama duck goes out to swim in the pond, Tom sneaks in to steal her only egg! He rushes to the house and starts preparing breakfast. Out comes Little Quacker. Tom tries to fatten him up so he can be tasty. As he’s eating bread, Tom takes a whack at the duckling, who then heads to Jerry’s mousehole for cover. Jerry helps Little Quacker try to find mama duck while they’re being pursued by Tom. Tom grabs a lawnmower to get them, but gets mama duck’s feathers. Quacker’s happy to see his mother, but Tom wants his duck dinner. Mama duck calls her husband (“HENNNNNRY!”), who’s a big, strong papa duck! Henry runs Tom over with the lawnmower. Mama duck treats Jerry to a swim in a little rubber boat. Little Quacker’s happy.
