Your species, what is it, and why?
agrajag_fur:
I am a jaguar - exotic and powerful. I chose a jaggy cause I like spots and they have the best colouring in the aniumal kingdom.
Curiously I would say I have more in common with them now, predatory, intelligent, social, playful and above all endangered.
Call me Aggy!

I love the cuteness of a husky and the roughness of a wolf.

Yep, I can sign that.
Belgian shepherd/wolf would be my favourite personality.
A wolf roams the great outdoors wild and free, arduous and tireless, yet he is social and family caring.
A dog is loyal to his friends and those he serves, and also playfull and ... cuuuute

Human. Why? Why not? I am who and what I am, and I am happy with it. I see no reason to adopt a new persona to interact with furry any more than I need a persona to interact with a pavement while walking, or the water while swimming. That's not to say I view other furries as things, but that I view the Furry Movement (for want of a better term) as a thing, and a meta-genre, and a means to an end. To me that end is entertainment and friendship. I don't want anything coming between me and my friends. And I prefer the 'hands on' first person approach as a rule. I'd rather read a book or watch a film or swing the hammer than watch someone else doing the same. (Yes I'll have a go with the chainsaw. Sure I'll work that crane. Bungee jumping? Why not?) So in my imagination, when it comes to (say) spending the night with a beautiful vixen... Well, you get the idea.
Sure i have characters, like Rabbit yonder left. As a writer I have lots of them; and some of them I really like. But I've never felt the need to make a character so much like myself that I could use it as an avatar. I'm not sure I understand why some people do, or why it's so popular. If a character doesn't have some (virtual) independence, what's its value as entertainment?
Besides which, humans are animals too, however much some people, and even some furries would deny that. It's a continuous spectrum of sentient and sapient possibilities. Exploring that and the implications for biology, engineering, ethics and philosophy is one of the things I like about furry fandom.
Terril:
A mostly chose a lion, not because lions speak to me specificly, but because of what lions stand for. You know, all the pride and truth and power and such.
Unfortunetly people also found out that lions sleep 20 hours a day <.<, which i guess fits pretty well.
But you know.. theyre known for all of the good stuff, and maybe if i smile enough, people will think i have the same personality traits. ;D
And im the King ofcause ;)
