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 #136: Crawdad/Crayfish

Crayfish, or Crawdad, is the name commonly given to freshwater lobsters. These crustaceans make their home in bodies of water that do not freeze to the floor, with a preference for running water and lots of crevices to hide in. An omnivore, she feeds predominently on dead plant and animal matter, along with anything living she can locate as she scuttles across her aquatic habitat. She is vulnerable to pollution, and also features on menus across the world.
