Notes/Trivia

 * The zoo ghosts are based on the real-life Ueno Zoo animals that were ordered to be executed during World War II.
 * Bruce also seems to be based on one of the Ueno Zoo staff who executed the animals.
 * The ghosts are a homage to the Jungle demons from the What's New Scooby-Doo episode Safari, So Goodi!.
 * Scooby getting the fur on his face ripped off after looking into the baboon enclosure is a reference to an incident in which Charla Nash was attacked by a chimpanzee that tore her face and hands off.
