Lion

Even lions can have a bad hair day.

Hot and humid* weather in southwest China is cramping the hairstyle of Hang Hang the lion, who was recently photographed at Guangzhou Zoo with a mane looking more like a mullet.

Zookeepers said the lion licked his paws and then brushed down his mane to create the unusual straight look.

Hang Hang looked a little out of place as one of the fiercest predators – but he was an instant hit after visitors spotted him sporting the funky hair-do.

Photographs of the unusually coiffed* big cat have also caused excitement on social media, with many comparing his mane to the mullet sported by Joe Exotic from the Netflix hit show Tiger King.

Others said he resembled the mop-topped members of 1960s British band The Beatles.
