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.

#838: Wolf Spider

Wolf Spiders are solitary and agile hunters, with various species ranging in size from 1 - 3.4 cm in length. Due to their active lifestyle, Wolf Spiders do not build webs nor nests, instead the female carries her egg sac on her abdomen. Although this appears awkward, she is still capable of hunting. When the spiderlings hatch, they crawl up onto her abdomen, and travel with her.
