"A 'golden jackal' living in north Africa is really a grey wolf, scientists have discovered. The animal's true identity was revealed when researchers compared its DNA with samples in GenBank, a genetic database. Until now, the Egyptian jackal - Canis aureus lupaster - had been considered a rare sub-species of the golden jackal. The new evidence shows it is not a jackal at all, but a type of grey wolf."

"This takes place in England - the owners of the yard added each piece of the Rube Goldberg contraption slowly so that when the squirrel learned one section and got the nuts, they then added the next section. Finally it ended with what you see on the clip! It took over 2 weeks to get to this point." DsuVLsDyln4

News has come out that Brian Jacques, creator and writer of the wildly-popular Redwall series of anthropomorphic fantasy novels, died on February 5th. He was 71. First published in 1986 (initially by Beaver Books), the Redwall series tells the tale of Redwall Abbey, a medieval monastery run by mice, which also includes a host of other species common to England and much of Europe (such as rabbits, otters, squirrels, and badgers). The main story arc follows the adventures of a young mouse named Matthias, who discovers that he is in fact the descendant of a great mouse hero known as Martin the Warrior. This knowledge comes in handy when Matthias learns he must help defend Redwall against all manner of “evil” creatures, such as rats, ferrets, foxes, and so on. (Species tend to be either “good” or “bad” in the Redwall universe, with little or no individual exceptions).  From that first book, the series has gone on to achieve international acclaim and awards, with a new book coming out almost every year. Brian Jacques was famous for his background as a member of the working class in Liverpool, England. Among his many jobs was driving a milk delivery truck, and one of his stops included a boarding school for blind students. It was during his visits there that Mr. Jacques began to tell the stories that would become the Redwall series — making the details especially vivid to entertain his young, blind listeners. The Rogue Crew, which will be the last Redwall book written and published by Brian Jacques, will be on the shelves this May.

Rainstar's Thoughts on the infamous "Tyra Banks Furry Episode"! Tyra Banks "Furry" Episode: Rainstar's Thoughts

Hey there furries, So I've been drawing dirty things for furries for quite some time now, but up until recently I hadn't really been taking that sort of thing seriously.

Lately people have been giving me "nice style" and "you've improved so much" kinds of comments, which leads me to wonder if I should open up for commissions or something. And no, I'm really not trying to advertise here, I'm just curious as to how high or low I should be pricing things.

BUT HERE'S THE KICKER.

So yesterday someone PM'd me asking about a commission, and I excitedly agreed to his little two-person picture. I gave him a ballpark estimate of $25 for full color and shading, and he instead wanted to give me $80 so long as I gave him a background. And of course I was like "hahahaaa well okay." $80?! Jesus, that's a trip to the grocery store, dude.

tl;dr - How much is my smut worth in terms of commissions? Here's the link to my FA Page

"?Fantasy author Brian Jacques died this weekend of a heart attack at the age of 71. He's best known for his lengthy Redwall series, which had 21 books in it which have sold over 20 million copies world-wide. I never read them, but I know they're much loved, and Jacques will be intensely missed by his readers. BBC News says that Jacques was once caned in school after turning in a short fiction story because his teacher couldn't believe that a 10-year-old could write possibly write so well, and must somehow be cheating. That's horrible, but it does help showcase his immense talents, even

I'm going to try my hand at some of this, and I'd like to know where the best place is to have stuff seen and critiqued... I wont plan on doing pornographic stuff, but it needs to be a bit more accepting/open than a straight up furry site. (babyfur). I know of furaffinity and deviantart... Any other ideas or suggestions?

this is a bit of a rant, but to be honest I need to get it out of my system. Look r/furry, we're a community right? good, so let's have a little talk. The furry fandom is something I love, and love being a part of. That being said, there are bound to be people who misunderstand or disagree with the way we choose to live! All I want to know is how do YOU deal with these people? personally, I just ignore them and go on living my happy ottery lifestyle ^.^ but again, let's be honest, some of you out there are perturbed by the fact that people are different from us. I want to hear your opinion too, don't get me wrong, but I believe we should all turn the other cheek and just ignore the trolls, haters, and general douchebags who make life for us pretty shitty. Let's all band together as a community and support one another! spread the furry love! also, post your fursona! I want to get to know you all better!

TL;DR Be nice to one another, stop the drama, post your fursona, and be part of our wonderful community! ^_^

This film follows the adventures of a young owl before he can fly as he and his brother are kidnapped.   The young owl escapes the kidnappers along with another young owl.  These two owls set out to find the Guardians of Ga’hoole in order to rescue the other young owls who have been kidnapped by the group.  The young owl eventually finds the Guardians after many trials and much sacrifice.  The film culminates in a climactic battle in which the kidnappers are vanquished thanks in no small part to the young owl whom the film centers upon.

I held great hopes for this movie, and they were somewhat dashed by some of the slowness early in the film.  It takes a while for all of the puzzle pieces to come together and put you on the edge of your seat.  All in all a good film but not great, the score is fantastic, and when the story really starts to come together you don’t want to stop watching.  The most difficult part of this film is getting through the slow and seemingly dis-jointed parts early in the film.  Had I written this review before or while it were in theaters I would have suggested to wait for it on DVD to rent and watch.  The story once it comes together is very enthralling and Hollywood needs more original material such as this to keep audiences coming back for more.

Over the years, I've talked to several furry musicians and composers. Many of them have had a hard time finding recognition in the furry fandom because the most prominent forms of recognized creativity are art and stories. As one musician told me, "Music is limited to only a thumbnail, a title, and that's it."

There are a few musicians who are rather popular and buck the trend of not being recognized. On FA, Colson has 50,000 pageviews and has a very active set of catchy pop tunes. Fox Amoore, an administrator of FA -- who sometimes collaborates with Colson -- has more than 110,000 pageviews, and countless watches. Both Colson and Fox Amoore have high-production, quality material that leaves their fans and admirers begging for more.

How does one get from being a blip on the radar to being a household name in the furry fandom? What are your thoughts?

UPDATE (2/8/11 11:20 AM PST): A lot of great comments! Keep it up!

UPDATE (2/8/11 11:22 AM PST): I see a consensus forming: if you're going to be a musician and want to be recognized, go outside the fandom and promote yourself. If you want to limit yourself to a furry audience, you might as well make the effort to promote your music at conventions and furry-related social events or produce music that has furry undertones.
