I was just thinking...
Would someone with a reptilian fursona wear horns like someone with a wolf fursona might wear wolf ears? Like, my 'sona is a dragon, and I'd probably end up wearing a pair of horns if they weren't super flashy or huge or anything, but I was just wondering if this is something common among scaleys. Just some random shower-thoughts for yah.

It's a beautiful day so I thought I'd take some pictures of a tail I made, so I can share.
British wildlife conservation lacking ambition
In the first third of George Monbiot's article, he writes about the achievements various European conservation bodies have had reviving the population of native species like wolves and lynxes.
However for Britain:
Bison in Britain died out during the peak of glaciation, between 25,000 and 15,000 years ago. They might have been prevented from returning at the end of the ice age (when this landmass was still attached to the continent) by human hunting pressure. Wolverine survived here until about 8,000 years ago. Elk were exterminated later: the last remains found in Britain are 3,900 years old.
Bears died out about 2,000 years ago. The most recent lynx bones date from the sixth century AD, but cultural records might extend to the ninth century, when a stone cross on the isle of Eigg that carries what appears to be a carving of a lynx was erected. The last clear record of the wolf in Britain is an animal killed in Sutherland in 1621. Beavers might have persisted into the mid-18th century.
I never realised Britain was home to lynxes and beavers.
Furry Fiesta 2014
Hey /r/Furry I am conducting a research project on online community interactions in the furry community and I can use your help!
Hey /r/furry, My name is Corey and I am a sociology student at the University of North Carolina Asheville. I am posting here in hopes that you could help me with an undergraduate research project I am conducting. For this project I am collecting survey data about the furry community and their use of online communities. The idea behind this research was to look at a social group that may experience negative reactions from people outside of the community and how online interactions effect members of this community. Here is a link to the google form of questions https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1AvINe3XXyrd-pYiVGPiIxjNcb1x3ESEM6TMX9bp-Qco/viewform.
Please feel free to tell me as much as you are willing to share .The survey is fairly open ended and hopefully will allow you to share as much of your experiences as possible. The form will be open until March 1st 2014. Please feel free to share to other online furry groups you may be apart of. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have via pm or in this thread. Also any feedback is appreciated! Thank You, Corey

Dogs (and Cats) vs. Dark Powers
[Discussion] Furry foreshadowing: Can you remember any furry tendencies from your childhood, before you ever heard of the fandom?
Three distinct memories from my childhood make sense in a furry context:
1) In one of my earliest dreams, I can still remember, I was riding a caterpillar-like Eastern Dragon.
2) I also once had a very realistic dream of being one of these: http://i.imgur.com/mwa6z2V.jpg I distinctly remember the sensation of having a thick reptile tail and getting sensory input from it. It felt very real, all in all. A dream I really liked and tried to fall back into (but failed).
3) At some point, a friend was sewing a stuffed animal lizard for me. Having the half-finished tail part, I stuffed it in my pants and went around, pretending to have a dragon tail (I must have been 13 or something)
Now that I think back, there seem to be a lot more coincidences in that direction.
So I was wondering if anyone else have had similar experiences?
EDIT Turns out I'm not the only one! It's cool to read some of your experiences.
EDIT 2 That's a lot of responses o.o

A cool looking Faruku Costumes work in progress
Capris: Survival Quest by Kampaisuchi
Capris: Survival Quest is a choose-your-own/reader input adventure comic started by Kampaisuchi a couple weeks ago. It looks really interesting so far, her art and expressions are great, and you get to influence the story to what seems like it will be a great degree from what she explained when she started it.
So go check it out!

Looking for someone to commission for a particular style of suit [x-post from /r/fursuit]
I'm looking for someone to build a fursuit in that "kemo/kigurumi" style that's so popular in japan right now. I promise I'm not weeb trash, I just have a mouse character and I really see it being the only viable option without going either hyper realistic or loony-toony which are both styles I don't like for this character. I've been thinking of commissioning Radywolf, but he's super expensive and then there's the shipping from japan on TOP of that. any suggestions or help would be appreciated, thanks!

So you guys might get a kick out of this.
So i recently read a few posts about people who had some negative feedback when coming out as a furry, which made me feel bad cause i wasnt pushed away or anything, but apreciative that i wasnt. So i remember telling my parents and explaining to them what a furry was and how i was one and they took it rather well, my dad making a few jokes and being a bit of a dick, but accpeting me none the less. After that i was pretty open with being a furry. A few weeks pass and my grandmother (dad's side) calls me asking if i was in a gang....at first i thouht she was worried about the pictures ibhad taken with a few less than refutable characters i called friends at the time, but no. She thought the furry fandom was a gang. I took the opourtunity to explain to her what it was. I am also bi and only my mother knows (since she way more accepting than my father) and as i recently found out my grandfather (mother's side) was told about my sexuality when he was on his deathbed, by my mom and he accepted me for who i was. Now i didnt cry when he died cause i was the older brother and i needed to be there for everyone. Now i loved my grandfather more than anyone, dont get me wrong but i didnt have time to cry. (Also know i am seriously emotional so not crying was weird). When my mom told me how he felt i cried for hours. I dont plan on telling my father till i get married to a man. Otherwise he will not know. Anyway, sorry for rambling. Living in the south i expected a lot of rejection, but i was met with open arms and im sorry that others didnt get the same treatment.
Tl;dr - Grandmother thought i was in a gang cause im a furry.
