Factual error: When Moto Moto and Gloria were digging for water, they threw all the jewels and gold into a pile. The gold in the basket would weigh more than 1200 pounds. Also, real gold comes fused to other rock and rarely in pure form.
Factual error: When young Alex is in the crate, he floats from Africa to New York, dead against all prevailing currents.
Plot hole: The newspaper headline showing young Alex being rescued from a crate is dated April 8, 1972. In the next scene, we see young Alex dancing in the Central Park Zoo, and watching him are Marty, Melman and Gloria as baby animals. This makes no sense at all. In the first film, Marty celebrates his tenth birthday. Key word: tenth. It is also known that the scenes of the main characters as adults take place in the present i.e. Alex confessing to breaking Marty's iPod. Seeing how the animals age quicker than humans, Marty, let alone his three friends, would have to have been born in the mid-1990s and the flashback scenes could not have taken place in 1972.
Trivia: In an homage to Twlight Zone episode with William Shatner watching the monster rip up the airplane wing, Ben Stiller as Alex the lion watched the monster/tarsier tear up the wing of the airplane too.

Chosen answer: I believe it's called "This is My Home", sung by Will.I.Am, who voiced Moto Moto.
