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.

Creature Feature #2: Aardwolf


An Aardwolf is a hyena of petite and diminutive stature, who makes his home in the east and south of Africa. Despite being a predator, his main prey is termites, which he licks up with his long tongue, consuming as many as 200,000 a night.

When I was young and we had to do projects on animals, most folks in my class chose lions, tigers, bears and elephants - I always liked to choose the more obscure and interesting, and my favourite animal at that time was this wee guy. I would like to meet one, one day.

I think tomorrow it might be time for something that is not a mammal.
