Cats

Cats need more recognition. Go, my furry feline friends!

Warrior cats

CATS, CATS, CATS ARE THE BEST! WHY?
1. SMALL AND CUTE
2. DON'T HAVE TO WALK THEM
3. DON'T HAVE TO PICK UP THEIR POOP
4. QUIET AND CALM

Wolves

The wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the gray or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. Over 30 subspecies of Canis lupus are currently recognized. Gray wolves represent the wild subspecies. As the largest extant member of the Canidae family, the wolf is distinguishable from... read more

Yes! I know people say wolves are overrated, but cats are praised more than wolves (sorry if my cat is reading this lol). My fursona is a grey wolf (half velociraptor!), and I don't care if you hate my liking of wolves! To me, they are very pretty and smart too. They are my favorite animals. Wolves for the win!

They're so beautiful.

I am a wolf, lmao.

Dogs

The dog, or domestic dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris), is a domesticated descendant of the wolf and is characterized by an upturned tail. Derived from an ancient, extinct wolf species, the modern wolf is its closest living relative. Dogs were the first species to be domesticated by humans... read more

How are dogs 5th?!

There are 37 species of fox, but only 12 are considered true foxes of the genus Vulpes. Foxes are omnivorous and adaptable, with diets that include small mammals, birds, reptiles, insects... read more

They are so cute! I love the regular-looking foxes. Their orange color is amazing. Also, I love silver foxes.

I love foxes. They are so cute (especially the fennecs). They should be #1, not #2. Go foxes! You're so close!

They are my favorite animals and my fursona.

Bears

Bears are carnivoran mammals of the family Ursidae. They are classified as caniforms, or dog-like carnivorans. Although only eight species of bears are extant, they are widespread, inhabiting a wide variety of environments across the Northern Hemisphere and parts of the Southern Hemisphere.

Kangaroos

The kangaroo is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae. In common usage, the term refers to the largest species within this family, especially those of the genus Macropus: the red kangaroo, antilopine kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, and western grey kangaroo.

My boyfriend needed a fursona, so I made him a kangaroo. Personally, I think they're unique. The muzzle shape is different from most mammals, they're already bipedal, super muscular, and really cute and cool, in my opinion.
They're not as rare as seeing a fish furry, but not as common as foxes.
Love from a Yeen/Parrot

One of my three fursonas is a kangaroo, and I love him a lot. I think that kangaroos are very unique animals, and they're also fun to draw. They're not as common as wolves or foxes.

Interesting furry species, more uncommon than, say, cats or wolves. Kangaroo furries for the win!

Dragons

A dragon is a legendary creature that appears in the myths and folklore of many cultures around the world. Typically depicted with serpentine or reptilian traits, dragons are often associated with strength, wisdom, and magical powers. In Eastern cultures, they are usually seen as benevolent, while in... read more

I came here to say that I am NOT a furry/scaly. People have made this assumption because of my dragon persona, but let me just say this: they aren't an anthro. They're a character of mine in my writing, whose personality is taken from myself.

They're so cute! I used to have two.

This is my new fursona.

Tigers

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is immediately recognisable by its dark vertical stripes on orange fur and white underside. An apex predator, it primarily hunts ungulates such as deer and wild boar, and is generally solitary and territorial... read more

Hyenas

Hyenas, or hyaenas, are carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Hyaenidae. With only four extant species, they represent the fifth-smallest biological family in the order Carnivora. Despite their small number, hyenas play a vital role as both predators and scavengers in their ecosystems.

My main fursona is a hyena, and they mean a lot to me. According to many people, hyenas are nothing but troublesome, gross-looking bullies who would be better off dead. Some say they have no purpose aside from getting their asses kicked by lions.
And yet, they are much better than people think. They're highly intelligent, one of the few animals that live in a matriarchal society, and are incredibly strong and good at teamwork.
I used to be bullied by larger people, but there were also some who saw me for who I was. So yeah, I love yeens.

My main fursona is a hyena, and honestly, I think they're a good balance in the furry community. If you can't decide between a feline or canine sona, a hyena would be a good balance. Also, yeens are pretty stinking cute, in my opinion.

Lions

The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat in the genus Panthera, native to sub-Saharan Africa and a single isolated population in western India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body, a short rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. Adult males are larger than females and have... read more

Birds

My other fursona is a macaw, and I love birds so much. They aren't the most common, but I believe they truly represent the carefree, beautiful, unique, and creative nature of the furry fandom.

Ok, all birds lumped in as a general category. BIRDS IN THE FANDOM NEED MORE LOVE!
