Different animal on each/every slide'

Hi all

Should I say 'each' or 'every' in this context? I am talking about pictures of animals in a Powerpoint slide show.

'There is a different animal on each/every slide'

Thanks

Either is acceptable. Each and every have similar but not always identical meanings. Each = every one separately Every = each, all Sometimes, each and every have the same meaning: Prices go up each year.
