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 #16: Angelfish


The Angelfish are a perciform fish found in shallow reefs and should not be confused with the cichlid freshwater Angelfish of South America. Part of the Pomacanthidae family, there are over 80 species. They are diurnal fish, using the daylight hours to forage amongst coral - some on zooplankton, others on algae, depending on the species. At night they hide in crevices.
