Furries, also known as furros in Spanish, are either a group of people who identify with the furry fandom, or a group of furry characters in art or roleplay. Because people in the fandom tend to identify closely with their avatars (or fursonas), the two meanings are often used interchangeably.
In a few aboriginal tribes, there was also a belief that, at birth, every human was possessed by the spirit of an animal. Said person would grow to look, think, and act similar to the animal. The occasional person can be found that still holds this belief, and they are scattered throughout the subculture, often surfacing as the belief in otherkin or therianthropy.
[edit] Categories
There are 7 categories into which furries can be classified. Any one furry may fall into a single, or multiple categories. However, it is very rare that a furry only falls into only one category.
