Trivia

• This episode is about penguins, just like in Pepito's Penguin School, except it's about macaroni penguins. Said episode was about multiple types of penguins (chinstrap, adélie, and emperor).
  • Both episodes could be Diego's version of To the South Pole.
    • Coincidentally, Diego appeared in all of these penguin-themed episodes.
• This is the fourth out of the four episodes that aired during the Diego premiere week from October 2-5, 2006 after Diego Saves Baby River Dolphin, Diego and Baby Humpback to the Rescue, and Little Kinkajou is in Beehive Trouble.
• This is the last episode until Diego the Hero where Rescue Pack is asked, as he isn't in the next two.
  • Additionally, Pepito's Penguin School uses it, and it's also penguin themed.
