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.

#657: Ring-tailed Vontsira

The Ring-tailed Vontsira was once considered a member of the mongoose family; he is now classified amongst the Malagasy carnivores, along with the Fossa, the Fanalouc and five other mongoose-like species. Agile, and a good climber, he is active throughout the day and will engage in playful behaviour. His diet consists mainly of small vertebrates and invertebrates, but he is partial to the occasional fruit and can be found scavenging around campsites.
