I Had Almost Forgotten What Real Lions Look Like

Last week I went to the West Midlands Safari Park, which was a great way to celebrate Bad Lions' 30,000th pageview.

At the park, I saw some very good lions:

So noble! So fluffy!

However, these in no way made up for the plethora of Very Bad Lions running rampant all over the park. Starting, of course, with the gift shop:

Oh yeah, I definitely see the resemblance.

It didn't help that all the signs were right next to real, gorgeous lions:

So...noble?

Note to artists: there's "stylized" and then there's "terrible." And THEN there's "no no no no no no":

"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?"
