I'd like to see a conversation regarding anthro physiology, and how a "realistic anthro" would go about their daily lives. For example, let's take an average canine.

Sleeping: Because of the bipedal stance, and rotation of the hips from quadrupedal to bipedal, curling up is no longer comfortable or practical as it would be for a non-anthro canine. So a bed is necessary, or at least, a humanoid sleeping arrangement. But what about blankets? You're covered in fur; would you need blankets?

Eating: Canine teeth are designed to crack open bones, slice off meat, and tear tendons. With their elongated muzzles, then can get leverage and access that we flat-faces cannot. So what would table manners be like, in an anthro world? If you want to double your fun, approach the idea from anthro world from the start, and then anthro world after an event, where social mores are already established.

Sitting: Tails would be necessary, especially if the anthros were digitigrade. So how to sit? Benches? Chairs? Do they have holes or openings for the tail? Or would those ergonomic kneeling chairs be more appropriate?

Floors: Linoleum or hardwood floors would be wise, considering how much non-anthro animals shed. But if you've ever seen your pet try to make a sudden stop on linoleum or polished hardwood, something else might be more secure.

Sanitary facilities: Explain how a male anthro with a sheath is going to pee. Pooping is easy, you'd just have a squat toilet like in Japan or the Middle East and Asia. But that sheath is aiming Captain Willy at the sun, not at the ground. How to deal with that?

Hygiene: Human skin needs to be kept clean. It's delicate, and subject to irritation if not protected and kept clean. Animals also need to be kept clean, but their skin is tougher, and also exudes oils that help shed dirt. So bathing wouldn't be a daily requirement the way it is for humans, unless something unusual happened. (Such as falling in mud, or spilling cola on your fur.) But what sort of other hygiene would be appropriate?

Home Maintenance: Central AC/heat and shedding. Discuss.

We could dedicate an entire month of discussion to anthros and clothing, so let's hold off on that in this thread. Unless you'd like to, that is...

Like the title said, I have been reading fan fics on wattpad (its a reading app) and I pretty much ran out. So any good ones out there?

Ya know? There isn’t anything in the rulebook that says gorillas CAN’T play!

Submitted by Fred Patten, Furry’s favorite historian and reviewer. I would like to thank my sister, Sherrill Patten, for getting this On Demand on her TV so I could see it. Actually, I could pretty much just repeat my comments about “The Nut Job” on Flayrah last February. “Thunder and the House of Magic” is […]

Fuck. That. Drawing. I had some help from Draw More Furries but it was pretty tough. I'll be working on my first full body tomorrow and I'm not sure if I can handle it. Any advice?

I want to work on improving my art but each time I try it feels forced and not very fun. Is there any way I can overcome this and make it more fun again?

Hi guys,

I'm not usually one to need to vent about anything, but lately a lot of shit's been going on, and there doesn't seem to be a person to talk to atm. (1 pm in my time) If anyone feels like talking about whatever or playing a game of hearthstone, that would be greatly appreciated.

So I would say I've been part of this fandom for about 7 years now, mostly lurking, but now I wanna get myself out there a little more and this place seems nice from warmth I've seen here.

I enjoy listening to music and singing (though mostly at home where no one can hear me), playing minecraft, origami, and occasionally binging on wikipedia articles and cheap candy.

I've never been to a furry con, seeing as having irl furry friends is a big obligatory prequisite that I lack.

I look forward to getting to know all you fine folk. :)

Looking for a good furry documentary, something unbiased but from a good perspective. Help would be much appreciated!

I would probably be the anthro, because otherwise I'd be too damn jealous...but hmm it would be nice to snuggle up with a real bunnygirl. Well, what do you think?
