Furries are a greatly misunderstood subculture. To better help understand the "Furry Fandom" - the mindsets of the participants, and how we compare to and differ from other fandoms (i.e. sci-fi and fantasy based fandoms), the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Niagara County Community College in Sanborn, New York, are conducting an international online survey of the Furry Fandom. Conducting the study is Courtney "Nuka" Plante, a furry social psychology graduate student at the University of Waterlo and Dr. Kathy Gerbasi, a social psychologist at the Niagara Count

"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

"The 100 dogs were shot dead over two days after an expected post-Olympics boon in dogsledding business at an adventure company didn't pan out. Most died instantly, but others suffered -- like the one that ran away with its "face blown off and an eye hanging out.""

"?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

"The following is an interview we had with Blotch last Saturday 15 during the Further Confusion furry convention, who for those who doesn't know, Blotch is the collaboration name of two very talented artists: BlackTeagan and Kenket. They have made very popular works like Dog's days of summer and lately they've made cover art and illustrations for Kyell Gold's books (Out of Position, Isolation Play). They have captivated the furry community's interest with their unique watercolor style and fantastic sense of animal anatomy. If you are a furry and haven't heard about them, you have probably be

Opening in Denmark in February 2011, Den kæmpestore bjørn: "Jonathan, 11, usually spends his vacations alone with his grandfather who lives on the edge of a vast forest populated by mythical animals. This year his kid sister Sophie joins him. But it's not cool to be stuck with a little sister, so he does what he can to avoid her. He succeeds entirely too well: Sophie is kidnapped by a giant, 1000-year-old bear. Now, Jonathan has to venture into the heart of the forest to confront the strange beings that dwell there and rescue his sister."

"Almost everything scientists know about the Bornean bay cat is based on just 12 samples, the first of which was a skin collected in 1855 in Sarawak, Malaysia. In the several decades following this original discovery, seven other skins appeared. It wasn't until 1992 that a living specimen was obtained. Then, after another was captured in 1998, the species disappeared. It was widely thought to be extinct until a photograph was taken of a single cat in 2003. Now, the photographic record has expanded after three photographs, depicting two or three individuals, were captured by camera traps

"Two foxes have taken up residence in Charlottetown - on the roof of a home. The house in Lewis Point Park is now one of the most photographed spots in Charlottetown, as the foxes nap on the snow-covered roof. Tony Kelly said he snapped a series of pictures after his friend told him about the animals. "I didn't really know what he was talking about, so I come over, and he was at the door, and he told me to look over here on the roof," Kelly said. "I looked over, and here there was a couple of foxes curled up in the snowbank in the V of the roof." The foxes didn't seem to ca

"Anime fans in both Japan and the barbarian nations have been pondering the rather pronounced differences in animal character design between the USA and Japan. Disturbingly, the American version could be recaptioned "furrie animals" without too much incongruity, although the same could probably be said of Japan's with respect to "moeblob animals.""

"Honestly - It's because I watched the situation unfold from the first tweet offering ThunderRoo a job, through his flight to Georgia, and then the drama unfolding with his parents and the rescue by ScottJFox. On top of that, I met him in person once he got to Atlanta. I talked with him, knew how much this new start meant to him and was upset and outraged that his parents would want to be so manipulative and controlling. He lost everything. His home. His savings. The new job. He is now hiding out from his parents and needs some hope. The people who donated to him have given him a
