Work continues apace with the new biro-art book, but I'm struggling a little with the subject matter.

The problem is I need to draw a fair few different animals but they must meet a series of quite stringent criteria:

  • Must have an exclusive or near exclusive diet
  • Cannot eat frogs
  • Cannot be a creature that frogs eat (flies, worms etc)
  • Cannot eat flies or fly-like bugs or things that frogs eat (worms, slugs etc)
  • Must be a natural diet not like 'Dogs eat dogfood' or 'Mice eat cheese'


I thought it'd be quite easy to think of lots but having done a few I'm at a loss now.
Here's a list of ones I've done so far or have planned:
  • Done:

    • Duck - pondweed
    • Panda - bamboo
    • koala - gum leaves
    • Starfish - shellfish
    • Mole - worms
    • Aardvark - ants/termites
    • Macaw fruit & seeds
    • Whale - krill
    • Ladybird (ladybug) - aphids
    • Marine Iguana - algae
    • Squirrel - nuts
    • Puffin - sand eels
    • Vampire bat - blood
    • Stag Beetle - nothing!

  • To do:

    • Polar Bear - seals
    • Penguin - fish
    • Hummingbird - nectar

Any suggestions are very welcome, just send me an email
