Every great explorer needs a best friend to keep them grounded! Iggy is Ally’s right-hand reptile and number one fan. While Ally is looking at the stars, Iggy is making sure they have enough snacks and a solid plan for the journey. She’s the heart (and the map-reader) of the team. 

The Alligator clan is big, loud, and full of love. While most of the family is perfectly happy napping in the sun and splashing in the tea-colored water, they are Ally’s biggest cheering section. They don't quite understand why she wants to swap the swamp for the stars, but they make sure her blue beanie is always tucked tight and her heart is always full before she sets off on her next adventure. 

A tall Sandhill Crane with even taller stories, Mr. San D’ Hill has seen the swamp change over many seasons. With his spindly legs and watchful eyes, he acts as a mentor to the duo. He’s the one who first told Ally that the stars aren't just lights in the sky, but destinations waiting to be reached. He’s a bit quirky and always speaks in riddles, but he always points them in the right direction. 

Deep in the heart of the Florida Everglades, where the sawgrass whispers and the cypress trees reach for the sky, you’ll find Flora. As a Florida Panther, she is one of the rarest and most talented residents of the swamp. With her sleek tan fur and keen eyes, she is a master of her environment. 

Deep in the labs at the Kennedy Space Center, scientists are building a very special teammate for the next big mission. The Rover is a tough, six-wheeled robot designed to go where humans can’t go yet. While it doesn't have fur or scales, it has "eyes" (cameras) that see in high definition and a "brain" (computer) that can solve problems millions of miles away. 

Perched high in the ancient cypress trees, Mr. Old Owl has seen many seasons come and go in the swamp. With his wide, knowing eyes and calm spirit, he is the animal kingdom’s greatest storyteller and teacher. While the other animals are busy running and swimming, Mr. Old Owl spent his time watching, listening, and learning the secrets of the earth and the sky.
