Sad Animal Facts: Your New Favorite (Slightly Depressing) Instagram

Instagram can lead to an unhealthy obsession with likes. Or it can simply provide endless amusement. Take Sad Animal Facts, for example. The account features drawings of cute animals by Brooke Barker, juxtaposed with—you guessed it—sad animal facts. Barker started dishing out little-known depressing facts about our wild friends earlier this month, as a part of #The100DayProject, which encourages people to participate in 100 days of making anything of their choice. Here are some favorites:
