Furries are individuals who have an interest in anthropomorphic animals, which are animals with human-like characteristics, such as walking on two legs or speaking. This interest often leads to the creation of unique characters, known as fursonas, that represent themselves in the furry community. Furries may express their passion through art, writing, and costumes, often referred to as fursuits.
The furry community is diverse and includes people from various backgrounds and age groups. Many furries participate in conventions, where they can meet others who share their interests, attend panels, and showcase their fursuits. The community emphasizes creativity, self-expression, and acceptance among its members.
