While fursonas are each based on an animal - a dog, cat, reptile, bird, wild animal, or even mythical creature - they walk upright like humans do and often have a cartoon-like appearance.įurries represent their fursonas through art, writing, online identities, or in the creation of “fursuits,” which are elaborate costumes depicting the individual’s animal.
Many furries create their own animal character, known as a fursona, which functions as their avatar within furry communities. Furries are people who have an interest in anthropomorphic animals, or animals with human qualities.
