Elk rescued from tree
Author: RingtailedFox
Yes, you read that right. An intoxicated elk found himself up a tree with no way down… a situation only cats are supposed to find themselves in. [Newser.com]
According to Sweden’s edition of The Local, the elk was grazing on fermenting apples that had fallen off the tree, and became a bit drunk; a common phenomenon. What happened next is anything but: the elk decided to eat the apples located higher up in the tree, and began to climb it. The majestic, antlered creature became entangled within the tree’s limbs, and required assistance from rescuers to get back onto terra firma.

Head Down the Mysterly River
Bill Willingham is best known as the creator of the Fables comic book series — which has, of course, taken more than a few furry turns itself. Now he’s trying his hand at a different sort of creation: A hardcover graphic novel for young readers called Down the Mysterly River, illustrated by Mark Buckingham. Here, we’ll let Amazon explain: “Max ‘the Wolf’ is a top-notch Boy Scout, an expert at orienteering and a master of being prepared. So it is a little odd that he suddenly finds himself, with no recollection of his immediate past, lost in an unfamiliar wood. Even odder still, he encounters a badger named Banderbrock, a black bear named Walden, and McTavish the Monster (who might also be an old barn cat)—all of whom talk—and who are as clueless as Max. Before long, Max and his friends are on the run from a relentless group of hunters and their deadly hounds. Armed with powerful blue swords and known as the Blue Cutters, these hunters capture and change the very essence of their prey. For what purpose, Max can’t guess. But unless he can solve the mystery of the strange forested world he’s landed in, Max may find himself and his friends changed beyond recognition, lost in a lost world… ” It’s available now from Starscape.

Furries: are we trending?
Author: Equivamp
Hot Topic, a teen-oriented franchise, is well known for buying its stock based on the current fashion trends of its target audience.
Lately, however, the products have become more and more “furry”. From animal “spirit hoods” to coats with tails attached, even going so far as to selling a wolf costume in time for Halloween, it’s certainly becoming something of interest to furries, even if Hot Topic is unaware of it.
Perhaps this is an essential time for furries that wish to become more public; after all, if there are already young pseudo-fursuiters traversing the streets, perhaps they will find enjoyment, welcomed into a community that has been costuming long before they thought it would be fun to wear a tail.

If this does not fit here, there is no subreddit where it does. (OK, I'm certain I'll be proven wrong in the comments but regardless...)
Is anybody going to FurFright 2011?
I'll be going to FurFright this year, and it will be my second fur con. (Anthrocon 2011 was my first :D ) I met a lot of great people at AC11, but most were just random, friendly people that were fun to be around for a few hours. There were a few furs I had talked to online and had WANTED to meet up with, but we didn't plan properly, so it didn't happen. (Anthrocon is HUGE, so it would be hard to find a person anyway.)
I'll be going with (and rooming with) two of my closest fur-friends, so I won't be alone or anything. I was just curious if there were any awesome furs that would be willing to meet up there...maybe we can make some new friends! It would be awesome if somebody here has gone to FF before, too, and could help me and my friends around, show us fun things to do and see at the con, etc. OR, if you've been to FF before, but wont be going or don't want to meet up, it would be awesome to talk to you so i could learn some more about the con!
I know it will be much different than AC, and especially much smaller, but I'm still looking forward to an awesome time, and meeting new people :)
TL;DR : I'm going to FF this year and would like to possibly meet up and/or make friends with another friendly fur there!
And just for some info about me, I'm still a teenager(and so are my friends), I'm a girl, and no. I do NOT like yiff. Call me Fusion or Fuse. Its my fursona's name.

Fur suit advances and techniques vs mascots
[link]
they note that mascot in suit is a really nasty job.
Now the same environment is that of fursuiting.
I had thought that most fursuiters know about the heat problem and
have worked hard to overcome it.
Opinions of Therians
Forgive me for making this post on a throw-away account, but I'm very curious of the furry community's opinion/views of those that view themselves as 'Therian'. I've never had leanings or connections to the furry community myself, but have recognized myself as Therian for 4 years, now, with experiences back to the age of 14 (7 years ago). The few interactions with this community have been rather uninformative, and the opinions of the internet in general cannot be trusted, so, upon discovering this subreddit, I hope to find some truth to the possible connections between these two phenomenons. Thank you for your time, as I am sure this may lead to a quite interesting discussion
