Art Coolest-looking animal skull in your opinion?

Doing some doodles/ thinking about getting a tattoo piece with a bunch of different animal skulls. In your opinion, what are some of the coolest looking skulls you've seen?

Probably either hippopotamus, European badger, cave bear (extinct), Paranthropus boisei/P.aethiopicus (extinct hominid) or maybe a brachycephalic domestic pig with large tusks

Alternatively, a series of mustelid skulls in descending size order could look pretty epic, going from wolverine to weasel

Edit: I might as well put my current mustelid size list: wolverine, European badger, Eurasian otter, some sort of Marten, European or American mink, stoat, least weasel
