You’ve probably seen a commercial or two of animals behind cages with a sad song playing in the background begging you to cry a long with them…and sure enough you do. After all, few things are sadder in this world than an innocent animal going through pain and suffering. What you are about to experience may not be as sad as these commercials (unless you’re really, really, really sensitive) because except for a few genuinely depressing facts…RIP Flipper…the sadness we are referring to with this list is more of the funny/cute kind.

With that said, these are 25 sad facts about animals that might make you shed a tear.
