Sad But Adorable Animal Facts That Will Ruin Your Day

article image
Sad Animal Facts by Brooke Barker

Just in case your case of TGIF was getting too intense, we've got some heart-wrenchingly adorable illustrations depicting the cutest sad facts about animals.

The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign in or subscribe to access the full content.

The illustrations, by artist Brooke Barker, were created to convey some of the slightly more unusual, and slightly more depressing, facts about our favourite animals.

Barker's blog is filled with loads more interesting and quirky illustrated facts, each one seemingly cuter than the one before!

Picking six pieces of her work to showcase was near impossible.
