for me, there's a lot of mammalian species that get neglected. the veridae look very interesting...depsite looking like a leopard have a baby with a weasel. besides that, anything outside of mammals tend to get little to no represetation. not by too much, but when you see a bluejay as a fursona, it feels like a fresh of breath air.
Smarter animals.
P.S.
(doin' this sorta backwards, but I'm having that kinda day, so...)
I'm not particularly 'Speciest'. Sure, there are animals out there I feel NO attraction towards (anything slug-related, parasites, insects, etc..). That doesn't mean they shouldn't exist in the Furry Fandom, merely that 'I' don't wanna get all touchy-feely-snuggleupwith.
Sue me.
One of the things that attracted me to the Anthropomorphic 'Fandom', was the DIVERSITY of creatures people make and portray. I arrived from the Classic Greek, Roman, and Hindi theological studies, and THEY are chock-full of 'Anthro-Beings'. I didn't have to make a leap of philosophy to wrap my mind around this modern 'Furry' perspective.
Mostly I find it intriguing, often alluring (not just in the XXX way, either!), and sometimes shockingly insightful.
:-D
