What is furry (anthropomorphics)?
Furry can be summed up in one of three ways, 1) a non-human being possessing a combination of animal and human characteristics, or 2) someone who is a fan of stories, movies, comics or other media which prominently feature creatures as described in part 1, or 3) a person who identifies strongly with a non-human creature such that they act like the animal in question and/or describe themselves as being such a creature. What a constitutes a furry is basically an anthropomorphized animal. In other words, an animal given human-like attributes, such as intelligence, and the ability to speak. Or the reverse could as easily be true. That is, a human with distinct animal-like characteristics. Appearance isn’t the only characteristic in question. Usually the personality, temperments, or social behaviors of the animal in question manifest in the furry. Other terms for “furry” are “anthropomorphic”, “morph”, “anthro”, or “zoomorph”. Two closely related terms are “funny animal” and “plushie”. Sinc
