Inside, the animal silhouette shapeshifts until it becomes an elephant as the letters form up to make the traditional Animal Planet logo of the time.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A stringy and brassy tune that repeats itself and ends with a drumbeat.
Availability: Appears on Animal Planet branded VHS and DVD releases from Discovery Channel Video, and later appeared on Artisan Home Entertainment/Family Home Entertainment releases.
