Alphabets Made Of Animal Drawings

I drew these animals over several years, creating new alphabet posters as new animals, like the almiqui, were discovered by scientists, or I found exotic and obscure animals to fill the most difficult letters, such as N, Q and X.

My rule was that the animal's name had to start with the letter it's posed in. I also wrote a glossary of fascinating facts about each of these amazing animals and the more I learned, the more in love I fell with them.
