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 #5 - Addax


The screwhorn antelope, or Addax as it is more widely known, is found in the arid Sahara desert. In summer it is white with the brown head markings, but in winter it puts on a brown coat - as you can see pictured here. Living in such an arid landscape, it can go for long periods of time without drinking. It eats grass, leaves and herbaceous shrubs. Males are significantly larger than females, and have longer horns.

This is an Art Card - 2.5 x 3.5 inches and can be traded for similar or purchased for NZ$10. Message me for details.
