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.
3. No words can describe how confusing this is.
4. “I’m dead, see. Stick ’em up!”
5. The person who created this really needs to seek professional help.
6. This captures its happiest moment in life…forever.
7. Any chance I had of sleeping tonight has officially gone out the window.
8. This little fella is really confused about his new habitat.
9. A little squirrel band!
10. “Greg, what happened to you?”
11. Meet Ronald. He’s a lover of the outdoors.
12. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
13. Smile for the camera!
15. Is this even an animal?
17. It’s like he’s permanently stuck in the worst yearbook photo ever.
19. Here we have Larry, Moe, and Curly.
20. Well, we know how he went out!

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