Trivia

 * Gilligan thinks of the Lion as a pet - however, the Lion has different thoughts - The Skipper is a cow, Mr. Howell is a horse, Mrs. Howell is a llama; Ginger and Mary are does; the Professor is a owl and Gilligan is a big can of beef stew!
 * When Gilligan is wondering what to do with the last can of beef stew - the skipper gives him an answer - he roars like a hungry lion!
 * Either the lion washed up sometime prior to this episode or there's a second lion on the island because in Gilligan's Mother-in-Law, Gilligan rushes out of a cave terrified of a lion's roar.
 * No one on the island must care for corned beef if they are willing to let Gilligan give it all up to the lion.
 * The appearance of the cans of beef on the island are a mystery, although they might have washed up on the island sometime prior.
 * The lion's off-screen name was Zamba.
 * In several scenes in which very close interaction with the lion is required, a stunt double for Gilligan is used. You can tell which scenes these are by the double's unnatural attempts at covering his face with his arm.
 * The view of the lion as it drifts away in the lagoon looks unrealistic; it maybe a prop.
