About the Project

The ZooTrophy Animal-a-Day project began on October 15th, 2013 as illustrator Angela "LemurKat" Oliver began working her way, systematically but selectively, through the alphabet and presenting, via social media, an illustrated animal to the world. Daily.

All pieces are drawn as 2.5 x 3.5 inch collectible cards, using a combination of polychromos and prismacolor pencils, along with other art materials. Many are still available for purchase ($10) or trade, so drop her an email if anything captures your eye or if there is an animal you wish to request.

It is predicted this project will take her at least two years to complete - with approximately 36 animals being drawn for each letter. She has also used the images to create a collectible hardback encyclopedia series, playing cards and a desk calendar, as well as the ZooTrophy collectible trading card game.

Craeture Feature #6: Adder


The Common, or European, Adder is the only venomous snake to make its home in the British Isles. As such, it has been the subject of much folklore. Although its bite is painful and poisonous, it is not aggressive and will only attack if cornered or injured. There are numerous anti-venoms available and although bites are fairly common, hospitalisation and fatalities are not so much.
