1	* AuthorsSavingThrow: Alley-Kat-Abra's explanation in ''Final Ark'' that it was an EvilTwin who killed Little Cheese in the earlier ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' story. WordOfGod says that they decided to do this instead of a full RetCon as an homage to [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] plotting.
2	* MutuallyFictional: The Zoo Crew and Just'a Lotta Animals both considered the other to be fictional before they met up. Lampshaded by a visit to the Earth-C version of Gardner Fox to help explain the concept.
3	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
4	** The original idea was dubbed ''Super-Squirrel and the Super-Animal Squad'', based around the Just'a Lotta Animals. But because of the fact that these were parodies of existing characters, and this would lead to licensing issues, they instead decided to create completely separate, non-parody characters.
5	** Pig-Iron was originally conceived as a villain before they decided to make him a member of the Zoo Crew instead.
6	** Little Cheese was originally named '''Big Cheese''', and he was actually mouse-sized with the ability to grow.
7	** When Creator/RoyThomas and Scott Shaw! were creating the comic, they came up with a Zoo Crew member who they never used: Whirlibird, a female bird with SpectacularSpinning powers who was based on Thomas' wife Danette.
8	** Creator/RubySpears planned an AnimatedAdaptation of the comic -- which would have replaced Alley-Kat-Abra with Franchise/WonderWoman. A pilot script was written, but never produced.
9	** Before DC's ExecutiveMeddling, Shaw! and Bill Morrison [[http://legacy.aintitcool.com/node/51575 had major plans]] for following up the ''Final Ark'' miniseries -- a ''Legion of Super-Pets'' series would've chronicled the Zoo Crew (now trapped in "real" animal forms in the mainstream DCU) fighting various animal-themed supervillains, before ComicBook/AnimalMan would've noticed something was off about them, and gotten Zatanna to reverse their transformations. This would've led into a 80-page "giant" comic with "reprints" of stories that didn't actually happen (including the Zoo Crew meeting their EvilCounterpart the "Bruise Crew", Little Cheese as a "super ghost", the Terrific Whatzit fighting in World War II, [[ComicBook/{{Deadman}} Deadmouse]], and a story involving the Just'a Lotta Animals), leading into another mini-series featuring the Zoo Crew, along with various new resistance heroes, fighting to save the flooded Earth-26 from the tentacles of Starro once again...and save Pig-Iron, who'd been forced to fight on Starro's behalf, lest Starro flood what little of Earth-26 remained dry. Sadly, all of this went uncreated since DC didn't do a good job of marketing the ''Final Ark'' mini-series to start, and then used the subsequent low sales as justification for why they weren't going to do anything more.
