Tippi Hedren started an organization called ROAR and the Shambala Preserve animal sanctuary that takes in wild big cats from multiple sources.
Tippi Hedren used her own personal pet lion "Neil" for this episode (Claws). Just like in the show's plot, Neil had free reign in their home, and even slept with her daughter Melanie Griffith.
"Affection Training" was created by Ralph Helfer who founded "The Gentle Jungle Affection Training School" at 10940 Riverside Ave. in Colton, California.
French title: Les griffes.
The title of this episode - "Claws" - is an obvious allusion to the film "Jaws" released the previous year. One of the school kids even mentions a shark when the lion is first introduced.
