I started listening to the soundtrack (Phil Collins, 2003), and I forgot how much I really loved that movie. I think it swayed me a lot more than the Lion King. So, if you saw the movie recently, or as a kid, what are you thoughts on it?

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, it reminds me of home.

Late in 2014 there appeared a new full-color very anthropomorphic comic called Squarriors, written by Ash Maczko and illustrated by Ashley Witter. “In a post-human world, two tribes of animals find themselves on the brink of war. Will they survive and find peace, or follow humanity into extinction?” For reasons not clear, humanity has vanished and been replaced by various forest animals, lead by the squirrels… and engaged in deadly, very bloody battles over territory. Now that the first 4-issue story arch has been completed, later this month publisher Devil’s Due is releasing them all together as a single trade paperback. Take a look at their web site — but be warned: When we say bloody, we mean it.

I'm just curious, I think for me it was a lot of Disney and a series of books called Warriors and the forum boards dedicated to said book series, where I also started getting seriously into art.(RIP Warrior Cat Forums I will miss you)

I'm the admin of /r/teenfur and I just wanted to poke in to mention that I'm going to make an attempt to revive it. I've never made a subreddit before this one, but I want to see the true potential in this subreddit fulfilled. Much support and suggestions is appreciated.

As a student of archaeology, I study lots of bones. It's very fun (instead of just looking at people and trying to figure out what they look like naked, you start thinking about how they'd look without and soft tissues) and very demanding. One single bone, whether it's a mandible, clavicle, vomer (it's in yo nose!) or a phalange (finger or toe bone) has multiple regions and parts. Foramina, fossas, tubercles, processes, tuberosities, grooves. They change throughout a person's life and vary between sexes, and the non-sexually-dimorphic features can vary from person to person too. A feature that's really obvious on Person A's temporal bone might be barely there on Person B's. But at least we're all one species, it's reasonably simple to pick out non-human bones if you've been trained to do it, and traits tied to ancestry are fairly minor.

But oh god, what if we were a global community of beings with wildly varying morphologies (aka, furries)? How long would it take to ID remains if you had to work out species, feral or anthro, etc. before you could even begin to figure out details like sex and age? The teeth of a feral wolf and a bipedal dog would look quite similar. The skulls of many birds would show little sexual dimorphism. Snakes are indeterminate growers.

Would anything ever get solved? Discuss.

I don't consider myself a furry, but I do enjoy yiff. I just think it's very kinky. I have never told any of my friends about this, for obvious reasons probably everybody in this sub struggles with. But I have one or two friends that I suspect are furry and/or enjoy anthro art. I would love to find out if they actually are furry via conversation. I have no idea how to bring up the subject, because I might get some unexpected reactions. I guess my question is, how do I carefully steer the conversation towards the subject of furry, to find out whether my friend is furry or not? Thanks for any and all help.

By the way, this is a throwaway/account dedicated to future posts about these subjects.

I love the fall season so much, mainly because of all the trees, and how they compliment the colors of the student union building, and all sorts of other nostalgic ramblings!

Unfortunately due to life things I had to transfer to an urban campus, where the overcast fall days only blend into the concrete jungle :< Regardless of the surroundings, one ever present factor in college I've found is that you can always find furries, either hidden in plain sight or actually running to club meetings in their fursuits! (True story lol)

I guess it's also worthy to note how a reasonable portion of the fandom is college age, adding a little more context to this phenomenon.

What do you all think? How active (or existent) is your school's fur community? Got any fun stories about it?
