BoingBoing.net just upped the ante:

YanquiUXO, the Reddit user who originally posted this sign says that it comes from the Harvard Museum of Natural History, which hosts an annual event that allows artists to set up installations and performance art inside the museum. This is one of those pieces.

I can't find the name of the artist of this particular piece, though, so if you know, holler.

Many of the Redditors have wondered whether this piece took real-life inspiration from a lion that was famously (poorly) taxidermied for the King of Sweden in 1731. I have no idea, but the lion itself must be seen to be believed. The derp is strong with this one.

The hapless Swede who did that probably only had the Swedish coat of arms or some similar heraldry to use as a reference, hence the ridiculous tongue. And the rest of it probably looks ridiculous because Sweden is silly.

Too much arty stuff that's not really bad taxidermy here, but it's still ok because the thread brings a million lols. I'm pretty sure I took a picture of a good one in Gothenburg in Sweden, I'll post it when I find it.
