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 #20: Anole Lizard


Anolis are a genus of lizards comprising of nearly 400 species. This fellow is the Green, or Carolina, Anole and is the first lizard to have his entire genome sequence. He makes his home in the lower east coast of North America - the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia and as far south-west as Texas, as well as being introduced to Hawaii. So territorial is this wee reptile, that he will even attack his own reflection. His favoured diet is small invertebrates that hop or squirm - worms, crickets, and occasionally he will also eat grasses.
