Zoological Lotto

This is a difficult game to identify. It may have been made by Chad Valley in the late 1890s, but images of their game of this name are not easily found.
On the other hand, there is a sense about this box that suggests it may have been a product of either Woolley and Co., or Ordish, both of whom have connections with Roberts Brothers.
If anyone can shed light on this, I shall be interested to hear. This example has only the playing cards (on which the tokens were placed) but no 'caller's cards'.
