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 #240: Florican


The Florican are the smaller members of the Bustard Family, with two species occuring: the Bengal and the Lesser. This fellow is the Lesser. He lives in open grasslands of India, but is highly endangered across much of his range. Males colour up dramatically in breeding season, sporting long plumes of feathers upon their heads. He will lurk in the grasslands and court the female by jumping up in front of her, croaking and fluttering his wings.
