Title pretty much explains all (and if you're familiar with speculative paleoart, All Yesterday's, etc., you'd probably understand it better).  Credit goes to yoult for the above illustration. |

I'd say theropod's depiction of Palaeosaurus' Allosaurus belongs here!

Allosaurus isn't a modern animal.

Sorry, I over-read the "modern". I guess I will focus on some animal's stereotypes then. This one looks cute:  |

Pics 2 and 3 could easily be some species of synapsid prior to ascendance to true mammals. |

2 looks like an iguana, 3 is a horse and 4 is a rhino portrayed the way people like to restore Spinosaurus.
Not sure about the first one, some sort of Mustela (a weasel perhaps) restored as if it were a lepidosaur?

Ok theropod, you got all but the first one.

First one very feline skull, 2nd skull with a lot of hippo characteristics on the neck of a sauropod, 3 a cross of an antelope and a thylacine...and 4th - weird scrawny humanoid thing with a rat's tail, hands and feet of some kind of lizard... |

The first is a cat (albeit shrink wrapped), so you're correct there. The second is indeed a hippo, but its long neck is due to it being shrink wrapped. The third is actually a cow, but given it's reconstructed based only on bones, it doesn't have as much flesh as it actually had (ergo shrink wrapped). The fourth is a spider monkey, again shrink wrapped and misinterpreted as a predator given its large eyes.
