Nothing could make me more curious about your taxidermy than this.
I need this as a t-shirt as “zoologically improbable and/or terrifying to small children” sums me up.
Finally I know what I want inscribed on my tombstone when I die.
I remember the news article, this is the lion that was removed:
THAT IS FUCKING TERRIFYING
OH MY GOD THAT IS HORRIFIC
hahaha
I’M LAUGHING SO HARD OH MY GOD
I can’t remember the last time I actually laughed this hard at something on tumblr. Oh my shit.
ZOO-LOGICALLY IMPROBABLE DOESNT FUCKING COVER IT
I’ve reblogged this before, but not with the lion attached. OH GOD THAT LION
IT’S BACK WITH THE ACTUAL ANIMAL
AHHHHHH
Oh god, I recognize that lion.
It’s mentioned in Still Life:Adventures in Taxidermy by Melissa Milgrom (which I recommend).
This reminds me of that meme cat that’s like “how you feel when you’re wearing socks and step in water” that I spent 15 minutes trying to find a picture of on the internet but cannot.
That terrifying stuffed lion is the Lion of Gripsholm Castle in Sweden. Where it still resides. It is not at the Harvard Museum of Natural History where the sign project took place. The signs were ironic or playful like this:
Photo: whale skeleton with sign that says “This object is still buffering.”
