Trivia[]
- When Awol says, "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my" in reference to the company, this is a reference to the film The Wizard of Oz (1939).
- In real-life, elephant safaris are a form of animal abuse as unlike mountable animals like horses, elephant spines are several damaged by pressure applied to the tops of them.
- An unused gag made for the Jungle Cruise by Marc Davis would have featured a white colonial hunter on elephant-back, attempting to kill a tiger.
- In Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye, various tourists are shown in the Eye on the Globe newsreel as using elephant-back transport to travel to the Lost Delta.
