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

"Really I have a warm heart it's just so darn cold outside that's it".

These facts seems suspect. The coldest ever recorded temperature in the artic was recorded at -67.7 C. No artic fox would ever have experienced what it would be like at -70 naturally. There’s only one explanation... someone out there is putting innocent little foxes in a super power deep freeze, turning down the dial slowly (possibly with sporadic evil laughing) watching them until they start to shiver.

All I'm thinking is that somehow we funded a study to find out when foxes shiver?

If that was a female fox that would make sense. (referring to the other fox fact)

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!
