They're both tiny, have whiskers, and have tails?

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:56 pm

Once again. I am not on the list...

copper · Post by **copper** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:56 pm

That is a rather odd list. Where'd you get it from, Sleet?

CoffeeJunkie · Post by **CoffeeJunkie** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:57 pm

What are you Leo? A lion?

Psykeout: They share a class. Mammalia. Otters are order Carnivora and rats Rodentia.

Coffee: Haha. He's a human.

Copper: WikiFur. It's not a perfect study, of course, since furries are hard to quantify, but it looks pretty reasonable to me.

Actually, otters are quite a bit larger, have fur on their tails, and are much better swimmers than rats.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:59 pm

rats can hold their breath for three days.

Sleet wrote:Coffee: Haha. He's a human.

the most rare of all fursonas!

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:05 pm

Nowhere near as adorable as an otter.

A capibara would not be mistaken for a chihuahua. It's way too big.

No way. Like 4 billion of the world's population has a wolf fursona.

copper · Post by **copper** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:14 pm

What, Sleet? Are you saying that two-thirds of the world population has a wolf fursona? I find that hard to believe...

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:15 pm

Oh yes. There are so many wolves in the fandom!

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:16 pm

wolves and foxes

sonic id furreh!!! · Post by **sonic id furreh!!!** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:16 pm

am i counted as a wolf

?

Post by **Dissension** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:17 pm

I'm guessing squirrel-cylon hybrids are not terribly common.

CoffeeJunkie · Post by **CoffeeJunkie** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:17 pm

But wolves are carnivorous prey feasters how are they accepted into the furry world?

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:18 pm

you're kidding, right?

sonic id furreh!!! wrote:am i counted as a wolf ?

your a wolf cat.

Pretty accepted. Most of us are carnivores anyway and for the most part the herbivores don't mind as long as we don't try to eat them.

shadowhaz · Post by **shadowhaz** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:19 pm

guess not but thay are cool diss

Post by **Dissension** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:20 pm

Any carnivore nevertheless inclined to try Squylon meat would find they had bitten off more than they could chew.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:21 pm

*smacks diss*

that was horrible.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:22 pm

I feel like anything I could possibly say in response to that is a bad idea.

CoffeeJunkie · Post by **CoffeeJunkie** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:24 pm

So Furries are called furry because of the fur... Are lizards and fishes called Scalies?

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:26 pm

There usually aren't a lot of fish, but reptiles are frequently called scalies, yes. Of course, they're also furries, since it's the name of the fandom. It's a subset, if you will.

shadowhaz · Post by **shadowhaz** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:26 pm

why are they called fursona instead of persona?

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:27 pm

Persona Is typically reserved for humans Shadow.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:27 pm

Because they're furries, and it's more descriptive. :3

CoffeeJunkie · Post by **CoffeeJunkie** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:29 pm

I have so much to learn... so much

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:30 pm

and people like to insert "fur" into any word they can. fur no reason.

Post by **Dissension** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:31 pm

Awesome pawsome, Psykeout.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:31 pm

Which is not a practice I exactly support, but "fursona" is alright with me because it kind of has a unique and frequently used meaning.

KalloonWhite · Post by **KalloonWhite** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:32 pm

Plus, whenever I hear the word persona, I think of Shin Megami Tensei.
