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.

Rabbits too. Rabbits can be scared to death just by the sound of a television...

I've seen a video where a rabbit is playing with a balloon and accidentally pops it. The poor thing starts skittering around on the floor.

Actually if you think about it, humans can to. If you have a heart condition being spooked could cause you to breathe heavily which makes your heart beat at a quicker pace which could give you a heart attack which could kill you.

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.
