## Trivia

* This episode is based on the Noah's Ark Story from the Bible, Genesis 6:13 - 7:24.
* This is the first appearance of Flamingo who doesn't return until On The Stop, Baby Mozart the Koala who doesn't return until Meet The Orchestra, 1st Version of Penguin in PlaySoup form who doesn't return until On The Go, Patch the Panda who doesn't return until World Wuzzle Adventure, and Baby Galileo The Kangaroo in Legends & Lore form who doesn't return until World Music.
* This is the first appearance of Chloe.
* This is the only appearance of Baby Newton the Lion in his second version in Playsoup form.
* The 2009 version marks the last appearance of Tiger, Baby Galileo The Kangaroo in Playsoup form, and Penguin in Legends & Lore form.
* The Whale Balance was later seen in World Wuzzle Adventure, and the Penguin Walker was later seen in World Music and Neptune's Oceans.
* This is the 4th longest video.
* The CD was released 2 years after the video came out. There is one classical piece by Frederic Chopin from Numbers Nursery included in the CD.
* Some tracks were later heard in Neptune's Oceans.
* The CD enclosed on the VHS has the same music as the Neighborhood Animals/World Animals Audio Sampler CDs enclosed on the Late 2002 VHS tapes, the Sampler CD enclosed on the Brady Neptune & Brady MacDonald VHS tapes. That being said, this is the last VHS to come with the Animals and Nature Audio Sampler CD.
* This is the only episode to be based off of a Bible Story (not counting Baby Santa's Music Box which is partially based off the nativity of Jesus Christ story from Luke).
* The lioness clip in the Savanna scene, and the otter clip in the beginning were also used in the Disney's Animal Kingdom promo, and they were filmed at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida.
* On top of all that, the video was released the same day Anchor Bay Entertainment released *Thomas & Friends: The Early Years* on DVD (with All Episodes narrated in the UK). Although *Thomas & Friends* wasn't affiliated with Baby Einstein, the only way Baby Einstein influenced *Thomas & Friends* is Bulgy the Double-Decker Bus Wind Up Toy that was previously seen on Baby Newton and the TOMY Train Set that was previously seen on Baby Beethoven but the Train wasn't seen in *Thomas & Friends*.
* This is the first video to have the promos of the "*Cinderella* 2005 Special Edition DVD", the unfinished *Fantasia 2005*, "*The Incredibles*" on DVD, the theatrical and home media hybrid reissue of "*Oliver & Company*" (All replaced by the teaser promos of Disney & Pixar's "*Inside Out*", Disney Junior's "*Me & Bao*" (Starring Hadley Gannaway & Sandra Oh) in 2014), "*Winston & Henry*" and "*Little Einstein*" somewhere inside the VHS & DVD.
* The 2009 DVD had a deleted scene that was not in the video. It had a tiger's tail moving by and then Tiger walks by. The puppet show was featured in a YouTube clip in 2009.
