This art is created not by hands, but by paws and claws. Paintings featuring the brush strokes and paw prints of animals such as snow leopards and sea lions from zoos around the nation sold Tuesday for surprising amounts of money.

Just a few minutes into the auction, a painting by Cha Cha the Lion already had sold for $550 while Pinto the Pig's masterpiece sold for $250.

The sale is part of an online auction at auctionnetwork.com to raise money for zoo conservation efforts. It is sponsored by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
