What are furries all about?

Furries are fans of anthropomorphic animals. An anthropomorphic animal is an animal with human-like characteristics. Most furries create their own character, based upon a specific animal. When looking at the species present in the fandom, most of the time you will find normal animals, hybrids, mythical creatures and some even create their own species.

These become personal characters, often with some added distinguishing characteristics like clothing accessories or fur patterns. It is common for furries to get artwork made of their fursonas, and some even get complete costumes made based on these anthropomorphic avatars.

Most of the time it is compared to other fandoms, like anime, Harry Potter or Star Wars. However, this fandom's focus and during the conventions, one of the main activities is to share art, roleplaying, show your own personal creation to the world, socializing and also helping each other with their own creation or fursuit. When was the last time you complimented a fursuiter with their nice suit?
