1731 Lion of Gripsholm Castle, poorly stuffed due to the taxidermist's unfamiliarity with lions, resulting in a comically deformed face (media.kbin.social)

This seems weird, did the taxidermist not get the corpse but just the fur or something? Otherwise they would have seen what I lion looks like (although a dead one).
