Trivia

 * The songs Do the Owl, Dorothy Queen of the Roses, and The Wiggly Owl Medley were performed live in concert before this album was released.
 * The Crocodile Hunter is based on Wake Up Jeff! which was written by Murray, Jeff, Anthony & Greg in 1996.
 * Steve Irwin wrote the lyrics for The Crocodile Hunter, Do the Owl, Cocky Want A Cracker, Feeding Time & Snakes (You Can Look But You Better Not Touch).
 * Anthony's brother John wrote Do the Owl, Feeding Time, Kookabura Choir, We're the Crocodile Band & You Might Like a Pet.
 * The music for Australia Zoo was later adapted to There are so Many Animals which had the music arranged by John Field & Paul Paddick.
 * This was the first album to feature Sam Moran on Backing vocals until 2006 when he replaced Greg Page as the Yellow wiggle until 2012.
 * The Wiggly Owl Medley is the only song that's not on the Wiggly Safari video.
 * The US album booklet shows that John Field's name is in the credits of Australia Zoo, although he didn't write it, The Wiggles' names were removed from Cocky Want a Cracker although they wrote it, and Dominic Lindsay's name is in the credits of You Might Like a Pet, although he didn't write it. The Australian album booklet also shows that only The Wiggles' names were in the credits of Butterflies Flit but they wrote it with Anthony's mother Marie.
