10 Terrible Taxidermy Jobs by People Who Have Probably Never Seen Animals

Good taxidermy can bring animals to life, making you take a double-take to affirm the animal isn’t alive. Bad taxidermy? Well, that’s the stuff of nightmares. We've found 10 terrible taxidermy jobs that shouldn't exist!

10. Punny Bobcat

Bobcats don’t turn their heads like that, and they certainly don’t have that expression. It looks like the cat just made a really, really horrible pun and expected everyone to laugh. Get it? Get it?? No. Just, no. Worst of all, it appears to be in a museum somewhere.

One of the cutest animals in the world was turned into a nightmare by some taxidermist. I don’t get why! These cuddly little creatures should never attempt to steal my life, but this creation exists. It’s alright. I wasn’t planning on sleeping tonight anyway!

Was it just impossible to put the eyes further in the skull? The look on this hawk’s face is almost like he saw something he definitely wasn't supposed to see. It's the expression of "I just walked into a changing room with someone already in it." Hawk-ward.

This lion is so bad it could easily be turned into a meme. In the Shanghai Natural History Museum stands the “I’ve made a mistake lion." It looks as though it just ate a mouthful of wasabi thinking it was guacamole. Dear China, thanks for the taxidermy laughs.

It took a while before I realized that this was a platypus missing a vital piece—it’s bill. How do you lose something so large and important? With glossy eyes and a pouty lip, this platypus just might cry if we don't find it.

The star of many memes, this fox is internet famous. But that doesn't take away from the fact that the whites-of-the-eyes are visible and it’s sitting up. Why, just why? It’s almost like the fox is trying to stare into your soul and steal it. Back off, demon!

4. Meth Sloth

With the missing teeth, bowl cut, and messed up nose, this sloth looks like an “after” picture for a meth advertisement. What could the taxidermist have been thinking when he created this drug-addicted monster? Meth—not even once.

What happened with this wolf? He’s looking in two different directions, and it appears he found a drug dealer's stash in the woods. Maybe you should chill out on the cocaine. You’re going a little overboard.

So, we all have that idea that things made in China are made poorly, but come on. This Panda could have been better. What is up with the face? This poor animal is one display to avoid if you ever want to sleep at night.

I couldn't even begin to guess what this thing use to be. The head is an entirely different color from the body, and the whiskers, eyes, teeth, and nose are all plastic. This whole creation is just a failed arts-and-crafts project. Bad taxidermist, bad!
