Behind Scenes

According to All Hail King Julien S2 E8”Daddy Julien”, Mort is actually older than King Julien. It is stated in Fast Food Lemur Nation that Mort is more or less 50 years old. Later, in "Blackboard Jungle", Mort is revealed to be old enough to be in history books.
In "Daddy Julien," Mort is shown to have a tendency to take offense at being called "old," when he states in a low peeved tone, "I'm not really THAT much older."
In the All Hail King episode, Fast Food Lemur Nation, it's revealed Mort's full name is Mortdecai.
The Big Squeeze revealed his name to come from the Latin root mortem, meaning dead.
Mort only has whiskers in the movies and All Hail King Julien.
His tail looks somewhat skinnier in The Penguins of Madagascar.

Mort calls his tail Rodney. (As seen on Rat Fink & more)
Mort's eyebrows are some of the thickest in the All Hail King Julien series.

For some peculiar reason, perhaps as a joke/running gag in the series, Mort loves King Julien's feet and always tries to hug them. Julien always responds by forcibly removing him from his feet. Mort possibly has a foot fetish.
Skipper likes to call Mort Sad Eyes.
Mort apparently shares King Julien's bad case of the "stupids": this is shown in several episodes.
He has a halo of ignorance which made him indifferent to pain, as stated in Sting Operation.
Mort can be quite strong as shown in Misfortune Cookie when he picked up an anchor to put on Rico.
Mort can be very jealous as seen in Lemur See, Lemur Do when he was jealous of Lemmy, in Right Hand Man when he was jealous of Clemson and Operation: Neighbor Swap when he was jealous of the bunnies, Muffy, Buffy, and Fluffy. In all three, he somehow knows that something is going to happen about them and he always helps the penguins to do something about them.
- Somehow Mort can predict things about these five better than Kowalski's Unexpected Event Meter.
Mort can play drums.
He has been in official service for the penguins three times: Rat Fink as an undercover agent, Whispers and Coups as a recruit, Two Feet High and Rising as a private. He became an Honorary Penguin in Rat Fink.
He was chosen to be the cover animal for the Central Park Zoo Brochure in the episode The Penguin Stays In the Picture due to his cuteness.
He talks with an adorable falsetto voice, though the other animals tend to think of it as annoying.
In All King, No Kingdom, it is revealed that Mort likes to eat glue, much to Maurice's disapproval.
In Pets Peeved, he is not a licensed pilot.
Similar to King Julien, he is an unexpected hero as shown in these episodes:
- Two Feet High and Rising: He saved King Julien from falling to the hot dog cart which would have. But King Julien didn't die because he touched King Julien's feet, even though he initially, having been cured by the penguins of his 'foot obession',didn't want to.
- Kingdom Come: He sprayed Maurice with a guava berry milkshake from a bottle which turned Maurice back to normal.
- Sting Operation: He tried to get "the honey" from the "bees" but they were actually the hornets, however, he destroyed the hornets nest which made the hornets leave the zoo and in this way, thwarted the hornets plans on stinging the children who were visiting it.
- Dr. Blowhole's Revenge: He tried to rescue King Julien and he helped the penguins defeat Dr. Blowhole and his Lobsters.
- Right Hand Man: He pushed Clemson into the crate that was going to the Hoboken Zoo and after King Julien was rescued and the crate was closed, he closed the back of the truck and got out of it.
Mort is sometimes thought to be female, though the Director's Commentary of Madagascar states that Mort is male. It is also commonly believed that Mort is a child, but the creators of Madagascar have stated he is actually older than 35.
Mort was once Horst's roommate, but Horst left due to Mort's sleep-hugging.
Apparently, Mort is only 40% mouse lemur; he idly mentions once that his father was a bear, which is confirmed by Dr. S, as well as possessing DNA from several other unrelated species and a quantity of sawdust an wood chips. He is also apparently part starfish and has enough of this DNA in him to regenerate his head. He is also apparently part spider, as he can produce webs.
Mort is possibly Jewish. According to All Hail King Julien “Lord of the Fruit Flies”, both he and his grandfather celebrate Hannukah.
