The furry community is a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animals, which are animals with human traits, such as walking on two legs or speaking. Members, often called "furries," express their interest through art, writing, and costumes known as fursuits. These costumes allow individuals to embody their chosen animal characters, often referred to as fursonas. Furries often gather at conventions, where they can meet others who share their interests, participate in activities, and showcase their creations. The community emphasizes creativity, self-expression, and inclusivity, welcoming people from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for anthropomorphism and animal characters.
