PhyloPic looks like a fantastic resource for this project. Note that although it only has png files, it might be very easy to automatically convert these to svg primatives using imagemagik and potrace ref
Whoah, potrace looks fantastic! PhyloPic does have a bunch of SVG, but many only PNG. The potrace binary (easily installed on Mac with brew install potrace
or Linux with sudo apt-get install potrace
) opens up any Advanced Google Image Search result, eg giant squid, black & white, clipart.
Ideally, a WoRMS id code could automatically be associated with silhouette descriptions. Many available here:
