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 #246: Fox

The name "Fox" is given to a number of smaller species of the Canine Family, but "true foxes" fall into the Genus Vulpes. The most well known and well recognised species is the Red Fox.  He is extremely widespread across the Northern Hemisphere, with numerous subspecies. The Red Fox lives in pairs or small family groups, either establishing a territory or leading an itinerant lifestyle. His main diet consists of rodents, with the occasional rabbit or larger prey taken. Urbanised Red Foxes have become something of a problem in cities, where they can raid rubbish bins, attack chickens and ruin gardens.
