Oh my shit.ZOO-LOGICALLY IMPROBABLE DOESNT FUCKING COVER ITI’ve reblogged this before, but not with the lion attached. OH GOD THAT LIONIT’S BACK WITH THE ACTUAL ANIMALAHHHHHHOh 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 lion is is from Gripsholm Castle and was King Frederik I’s pet lion that he kept in a cage and it was a big deal because it was 1731 and most Scandinavians had no fucking clue what a lion looked like. A few years after the lion’s death, the King had his bones and pelt sent to a taxidermist who had never seen a living lion and approximated it with terrible, hilarious results. -- source link
