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

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.

I agree! I've got 13 cats and they all like my high pitched voice I use when I talk to them and they don't like or care for when my husband talks to them unless he tries to talk like I do which can be weird lol.

My cat recognizes my voice and always comes when he is called. He is my shadow most of the time But I think my cat isn't like all other cats. When I first adopted him instead of being scared and hiding. He was acting as if he lived with us forever

With my cats, listening to me seems to depend on whether they assume food is involved or not. Sad but true. 😢

Tehy don't care that they recognize the voice, or don't care about who talks to them?

They do care. Especially if said voice means pets/food. ;3

I doubt this because if I say come here Sammie (his name) he will come almost immediately

Definitely not true about them not caring. Mine react happily just to the voices and even the car engines of those people they really like 😃

If they don't care about you, maybe you deserve it. Cats hugely value the people who are nice to them.

Maybe they only care about that "voice" of a tuna can being opened

Many care. Deep down locked away where they just don’t want to show it.

One of my cats always comes to me when I call her so some of them do care. She doesnt react to anyone else

Mine come running to the sound of the electric can opener for their wet food or rattling the bag with their dry food.

No problem for me: I am extremely allergic to cats. So I wouldn't listen to them either.

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!
