Did you know that hippos attract mates by peeing, elephants only sleep two hours a night, and male bees are locked out of the hive during winter?

I’m a writer and illustrator living in the Netherlands, and I draw sad animal facts. I’ve spent the last three years researching and illustrating sad facts about adorable animals and sharing them online.

I mean this one isn't that sad.. They plant the nuts they grow into, lack of a better word, but tree and the squirrels get even more nuts. Win win

Google preventing bird strikes for things that you can put on your windows. Some are running in to refection they think sre open sky. It is dangerous for birds to attack straight on in full flight so I wonder at the percentage of this one.

How about flying into the reflection of the open area, meaning they believe they are flying into the open

For three days I had a bird running into my window non-stop... I guess he REALLY hated himself.

There's a robin that fights with its reflection on my patio door... at 5:00 in the morning...!

I've seen them knock themselves out this way. Our neighbors used to put aluminum foil on their windows.

Not true. Cats have definite preferences for various people, and I know for a fact that one of ours likes men because of their deeper voices. Plus, mine come running when I talk to them.

But they have learned what tones we can hear, so when they trust us and want to communicate with us, they actually use those tones! Elephants are incredibly smart animals (and very very interesting)

Just think about it: these male birds can puke on a female and the female will STILL mate with them. Meanwhile, you're single and scrolling through sad animal facts on bored panda.

Well, have you seen their crowded living quarters? I'd want some alone time too!
