Treasure Island is the titular location in Muppet Treasure
Island, though it is never specified by name in the film. In the
original Robert Louis Stevenson novel, the text indicates that
the island is in the vicinity of the Spanish Main, or Atlantic
Ocean, the historically dominant region of piracy. The tropical
island is home to such fauna as crocodiles, mosquitoes, and
monkeys, and the native population consists of a tribe of boars,
led by high priest Spa'am. An unusual natural occurrence is a
collection of large stone heads, carved in the likenesses of
pigs, much like those found on Easter Island. The heads
occasionally participate in native chants or crack jokes to
marooned sailors. Benjamina Gunn is a more recent inhabitant,
marooned by Captain Flint, and subsequently presides over the
natives as their queen, accompanied by her pet anteater,
Flaubert. Prior to the film's narrative, Captain Flint selected
the island as the place to bury his treasure. The Crew of the
Hispaniola re-discover the island, than
