Red fox, to hit on all the hot vixens on FurryMUCK, of course!

Seriously, it felt appropriate at that time, and was retroactively confirmed the more I read about associated traits of those beasts. I specifically loved the old germanic notion of foxes being "partly helpful, partly demonic", which fits the bill nicely for me, so I had no "reason" to change species.

And well, they're cute as hell, too. Can't argue with that! ;)

Since i was a pup I have always been i bit Animalistic, I love the moon and the light brings me happiness even in dark times. I am of course a Wolf, i guess I'm a European Grey wolf (Existed now :() since I'm British.

I believe my spirit is that of a wolf, and my personality and behavior also is very similar to a wolf, i have i high sense of hear and smell than most humans i know, (I h8 high pitch nose they hurt my ears! young ppl can hear but human adults loos that ability)
When i fight with my teeth and claws (have done since a pup), I Love to howl if its just for the joy of it, but also its fun to find out where other dogs and wolves are. It was awesome at EF to get a response from other howling wolves or K9s.

I know exactly what you mean. Starting when I was 10 as part of my birthday gift I would have my parents make a contribution to the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) Tiger Fund. My parents always asked me why and I could never give them an answer that made any sense. When I started working I kept the tradition alive and now but found a US organization that dedicates all resources for tiger preservation and defense. As I read the posts and view all the great videos on You Tube I see that the big cats seem to represent a large majority of all furries. I am starting to think that this is too common to be a random occurance, and I believe it to be more that just visual appeal, it is something deeper than that.

Hey, I just realized that we are supposed to introduce ourselves first. My mistake (I'm new to blogging). Instead of starting a new thread I will just do it here, it seems like an appropriate place.

First of all, I want to say that I am grateful that the forum is in English. I really enjoy talking to people from the EU and I know it's your multilingual efforts that make that possible. My sincere thanks to you all.  8)

I'm also new to this world of "furry". Like I mentioned before I always felt like there was something more to me that just me, and I have spent the last decade and a half trying to figure out what that was. I have always felt very closely related to the Siberian Tiger (I was also born under the year of the Tiger-Chinese Astrology-did not know this until recently), and when I played hockey in High School I always felt like he was there with me, helping me fight the battles on the ice. I can't really explain it beyond that, but I'm sure that a few know what I'm talking about. Now in my professional life I have chosen high profile jobs that continually test my resolve and character, and I have to admit it, but I still feel like he's there, keeping me from going over the edge or giving up.

To me the sprit of what is there is more important that the physical expression of it. However with all the fun I've seen on You Tube, I will admit that I am strongly considering that very option. I look forward to reading and watching more to help me take the right course of action. I also did my "furry code" using version 1.3. I hope that I did it correctly.

I am a wolf. It suited best for me, as i am really much of a loone. And i like the howling part. you can hear me howl around. :) yeah that makes the dogs barking.  But i can come along with cats too, they impress me if i see a cat in the eyes. So wild and yet so tamed. :)

Thanks! The internet makes it easier to see each other!  :) Our local NHL (National Hockey League) team is the Phoenix Coyotes (Wolf species generally located in the Southwestern United States). Any time they score we all start howling.... It's quite a sound when 18,000 people start howling at the same time! Heaven for all the Canine's here for sure. :o

I couldn't find an example on You Tube where you can hear the fans howling, however this clip does play the song when a goal is scored. If you can imagine everyone howling along, you can see what I mean. You should see it during the playoffs, 3 solid hours of howling!  :o

I started out as a wolf, since wolfes have been my favorit animal from a really young age, but after having had a wolf fursona for 4 months or so, i saw a picture of a husky and i just got hit right then and there, and i never looked back  ;D

My tattoo is the same as i have irl, and its about the only thing that marks my caracter as mine  :)

Husky/wolf hybrid

I can relate to both of them, don't have one that i can really pick of both :P

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

I am a Shire Horse.

They always have been my absolute favorite animals. I can find a lot of similarities between them and me. I am working with horses since I was 5 so I really grew into them I could say. Always when I am around a horse there is something interesting going on. The horse and I could "understand" each other pretty well from the beginning.

I am a Shire since I knew about furry and I have been around the Internet and the fandom. I have never changed it and I never will change that.

Greetings from the "Gentle Giant"  ;)

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!

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   (http://people.freenet.de/clanrat/wolf/grinwiggle.gif)

So, what spieces are you, and why have you choosen this specific spieces?

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.

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  ;)

I'm a Catcoon. Or an Raccat as i like to call it. It's because my personality fits very well with both species. Only one of them is kinda missing something of me, but both together have everything.
They are my favourite animals.

My preferred species is an horse, to be exactly an cute white pony with an touch of unicorn.

Since an young age i am dreaming from horses, proud animals beeing strong and graceful. I wish i would be this as well, but at least i have in common with them that i am very shy; tend to run away when there is too much around me and like to walk around in the nature.

When i went online ten years ago far those far forgotten things from my childhood came back and slowly i discovered one thing - i want to be a cute pony.

And in weird ways i finally found to fursuiters and my fursuit helps me at least in some way to transform myself into this creature.

I am an equine.

This suits me best because of spiritual reasons that are (unfortunately) not always "swallowed" well by other furs when I share them.
However, since I don't care about this and there are still a lot people who can relevate to it I shall explain further, yet keeping it brief.

In the world of labels there are therianthropes and these are considered the "different" kind of furries.
The believe goes that they were the animal in question in a previous life.
In my case, I always felt there was just more then me inside this physical body and with a lot of personal research and regression theraphy this also seems truly the case.
I never knew what a furry was let alone therianthropy during this path of self discovery.
However, I do feel at home in the furry community since most people do share a true deep passion and connection with the animal(s) they represent.

Hence, I am here. :)
