'''Logo:''' On a {{color|grey}}-{{color|darkgreen|dark green}} marble wall background with two black widescreen bars at the top and bottom, we see two white lines. Above the first white line is the text "'''LAST CHANCE TO SEE'''" in Adorn Serif font. Above the "LAST CHANCE TO SEE" text is the name of the animal or plant presented in the short with a question mark in Copperplate Gothic font above the second white line. The 1988 BBC logo (in white) is shown above the second widescreen box, which reads "© [BBC logo] WORLDWIDE LTD (year in Roman numerals)" in white.

'''Variant:''' At the end of the last ever ''Last Chance to See'' short, instead of the "LAST CHANCE TO SEE" text, the text "WAS THIS YOUR" in the same Adorn Serif font and the same "LAST CHANCE TO SEE" text in the same Copperplate Gothic font with the same question mark are seen.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of the short.

'''Availability:''' Seen on the award-winning ''BBC's Last Chance to See'' shorts, originally aired in 1996. The shorts were rerun on [[BBC Two]] during schools programmes from 1999-2010, and on [[Channel 4]] from 2004-2017. They can also be found on Vimeo.
