A Face Even a Mother Wouldn't Love

Even the lion is disgusted by how bad he is.

Thanks for the submission, Joanne!

Won't Someone Please Think of the Children?

The only thing I can say is...

At least he's happy?


Thanks to Alice for the submission! Remember, if you have a bad lion, you can send it in to badlions.submissions@gmail.com.

We're Back

Sorry for the horrible lull in posting. To make up for it, have this great lion:

If by "great" I mean "stressed, possibly drug-addled, with wings growing out of his forearms".

This is the lion version of that homeless dude who stands on the corner muttering about government probes in his brain.

Thanks to Maria for the submission!

I Can Only Hope You Were Drunk

No, man. Just. No.

Flattening Them Really Doesn't Help

It’s a fact: Lionskin rugs will never look good, because no matter how well done, they strongly resemble a lion dropped from a very great height:

SPLAT!

But even within that realm of awful, there are some true masterpieces.

The standard expression for these bad boys is the snarl:

“I might be a rug, but I could still kick your ass”.

But some taxidermists choose to deviate. There’s the “Oh shit, I’m a rug”:

The “holy crap, how could this happen to someone with such good hair?”:

The “Of course. My mother always said I’d be a failure”:

And, naturally, the “Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. I’m so flaaaaaaaaaat”:

Keep up the good work, taxidermists!

One of these is a fairly good, recognizable representation of a known animal:

The other one?  Not so much.

(Note: I've blurred the children in this photo because I stole it off of twitter like a giant creep). 

This is How Future Generations of Bad Lions are Created

I'm pretty sure this "lion" would just confuse a child.
