• Wally and Gritty, the Flyers' mascot, danced together during a part of the game referred to as the 'Lion King Cam.'
• Henney, who uses Wally for his depression, had previously tried to bring the alligator to a Phillies game but was denied entry, as the stadium only allows service animals.

• Wally has become quite a sensation, amassing a considerable following on Instagram and TikTok, with Henney advocating that people should 'respect him, not fear him.'
