One Look At These 20 Botched Taxidermied Animals, And You'll Laugh For Hours

Some animal enthusiasts — whether they're hunters or pet owners — like to honor four-legged critters forever through the art of taxidermy. Preserving an animal for years after death takes a certain amount of skill and finesse. The idea is to make them appear as if they haven't left at all, but are merely frozen in time.
Unfortunately, some people don't have time for any of that. Whether it's a quick and messy taxidermy job, or a goofy diorama of dead rodents, these people tried and failed in the worst ways possible — and we can't stop laughing.

That's one way to be remembered, I suppose. I'm just glad they weren't alive to witness what would become of them.
