¡¡¡¡Fur ball: This lion dog - sports such a fluffy hairdo that only its face is visible

¡¡¡¡These hilarious pictures of flyaway fur and mohican-style manes show just what happens when animals have a bad hair day.

¡¡¡¡From alpacas to beaded pigs, these bedraggled creatures are in bad need of a makeover. But without a hairbrush or bottle of spray to tame their frizzy locks, they are forced to stick with the natural look.

¡¡¡¡The laugh-out-loud pictures of some seriously wild hairstyles have been taken by photographers across the world.

¡¡¡¡They include a lion with a mane that looks as though it has been fashioned into a fin, and a Hooded Merganser duck with a quackers quiff. A leaf monkey also sports an impressive mohican, while a seriously spiky porcupine poses among the trees in North America.

¡¡¡¡The collection also features a chicken with a barmy bouffant and an alpaca with artful tufts surrounding his pointy ears.

¡¡¡¡Several birds appear to have had their feathers ruffled, proving that its not just fur that gets in a tangle.A long-haired Portuguese water dog and a sky terrier do not even seem able to see with their flowing tresses hanging over their faces.But at least they are not in quite as bad a state as one Chinese Crested dog, who is bald except for a few strands of white on top of his head.
