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.

#604: Prawn

Prawn is the general name given to large swimming crustaceans or shrimp, especially those which commonly find their way onto menus. It is more frequently used in the UK than the USA. In most species, the eggs are laid directly into the water and no parental care is given. These hatch into tiny free-swimming larvae, and then grow through several moults into their adult form. Prawns follow an opportunistic omnivorous diet, ranging from small detritus particles up into larger organisms, including small fish.
