Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Meredith, Derek and Zola see the lion crossing the street in front of the car, the lion roars and it is clear that the lion is not missing any teeth. However, later in the episode, Richard removes a tooth that had gotten lodged in the male mauling victim's arm. The victim was the lion's owner and the attack happened in his house, so by the time the lion was out the tooth should already be missing.

Continuity mistake: When Hunt and Warren are in the elevator, Warren is wearing normal clothes. When the storm into the O.R. Warren is suddenly wearing scrubs. There is no way he could have changed into scrubs fast enough to get to the room before they started cutting the bars off the guy on the table.
Continuity mistake: Cristina walks in during the party with two containers of cupcakes, places them on the side table and walks out.
