A '''Liliger''' is a [[hybrid]] between a [[male]] [[lion]] and a [[female]] [[liger]]. Thus, it is a second generation hybrid. In accordance with Haldane's rule, male tigons and ligers are sterile, but female ligers and tigons can produce cubs. The first such hybrid was born in 1943, at the Hellabrunn Zoo.

Male liligers are generally slightly larger than the females, and also sport a mane from their lion father, but while ligers often inherit the sandy coloring and stripes from their parentage, liligers often develop spots and rosettes similar to a [[leopard]].

The term '''dog''' may refer to a number of organisms, but is used here to describe the domesticated [[canine]]. Canines are the [[List of most popular phenotypes|most popular phenotypes]] of [[furries]], with a significant number of these being domestic dogs.

==Species overview==

The domestic dog (''Canis lupus familiaris'') is a subspecies of the [[gray wolf]] (or grey wolf) (''Canis lupus'') and a member of the family [[Canidae]].<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/06/the-origin-of-dogs/484976/</ref> Dogs are [[carnivorous]] [[mammal]]s, though generalization about the subspecies is problematic because of the extreme variation brought about by the result of their domestication. Most dogs will eat almost any type of food. A few things may be said to be generally true:

Dogs can perceive sounds across a wider range than that of [[human]]s, from 20 Hz to 100 KHz (as opposed to 20 Hz to 20 KHz) and, thanks to mobility in their ears, can localize sound with greater precision. In addition, their sense of smell is significantly more advanced: it is said that a [[Wikipedia:bloodhound|bloodhound]] can detect a single drop of blood diluted with five gallons of water.

Their sight allows them keen perception of motion, and their field of vision is larger than that of humans (while still following the binocular vision typical of the [[carnivore]] pattern); however, they are dichromats and therefore functionally colorblind. Their visual acuity is relatively low, with much sensory input being olfactory and auditory. Dogs have great night vision.<ref>https://www.petfinder.com/dogs/bringing-a-dog-home/facts-about-new-dog/</ref>

They are generally less robust than their wild ancestors, with a less pronounced [[muzzle]] and an overall reduced muscular structure. Some of this may have to do with their upbringing; tellingly, wolf puppies raised apart from their society from birth develop some similar traits. However, with hundreds of breeds ranging from the [[Wikipedia:Yorkshire terriers|Yorkshire terrier]] to the [[Wikipedia:mastiff|mastiff]], and the [[Wikipedia:basset hound|basset hound]] to the [[Wikipedia:saluki|saluki]], such generalizations have only limited value in describing the subspecies as a whole.

==Dogs and human beings==
Wolves domesticated at some point greater than fifteen thousand years ago (possibly as long ago as one hundred thousand years or more) form the basis for all modern canine stock; the dog is in fact identified taxonomically as a subspecies of ''Canis lupus''. The relationship since then has been cozy; ritual burials suggest a close association between the two species as early as the Mesolithic.

In modern context dogs have many roles within human society. Many are "employed" in search and rescue and drug/contraband location; others act as seeing-eye or assistance dogs. Throughout history they have served as everything from pack animals to emergency food source, although today both of these uses are much less common. A significant number--perhaps the vast majority--of dogs in the western world are companion animals with no assigned task ''per se''.

== Etymology and psychology ==

The word is derived from the [[Wikipedia:Latin|Latin]] ''vorare'' (to 'swallow' or 'devour') and the [[Wikipedia:Greek language|Ancient Greek]] φιλία (''philia'', 'love').

The term ''vorarephile'' describes someone who enjoys vore. Most vorarephiles describe themselves as being "[[prey]]" — based on how animals are considered to be prey for other animals who are in a higher chain position — while those who actually do the eating in the fantasies, are referred to as a "pred" (derived from the word [[predator]]).<ref>[http://vore.got-game.org/VoregottenRealm/VoreDefinition.html "What is vore? An attempt at a definition."] Accessed 26 February 2008</ref>

Being a [[Wikipedia:Fantasy (psychology)|fantasy]], any orifice may be thought of as capable of vore, but it's really just adding a body part to the word vore. This incorrect use of the word vore is now commonplace. Examples of this well known twisting of the word vore are the "genital vore" scenarios, such as '''unbirthing''', also known as '''female genital vore''' or '''vaginal vore''', and “vorginal”, which involves a character(s) "consumed" via the [[vagina]] and taking refuge in the womb,<ref name="unbirth">[http://aryion.com/content/unbirth "Unbirthing"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''. Retrieved ?.</ref> which is simply a '''reverse birth'''. Others think of it as a mutual, erotic and consensual activity with no injury to the sexual partners involved — in that case, it is not considered a form of vore.<ref name="unbirth"/>

Vorarephilia is typically considered an "imaginary fetish", as fulfilling them, in reality, is both difficult and illegal. Most vorarephiles are aware of the improbability of the paraphilia and are largely uninterested in the idea of [[W:Cannibalism|cannibalism]].

== Vorarephilia and furry ==

Though still considered a fringe interest, vorarephilia is a relatively popular topic for [[roleplay]] and [[art]] in furry fandom, being shared to a greater or lesser extent by perhaps 2-5% of [[furry fan]]s. Its popularity may be due to a large number of predator/prey species that mingle daily, although some vorarephile characters will eat just about anything with no regard for the conventional [[Wikipedia:food chain|food chain]]. Furry vore is also made somewhat easier to depict since many furry characters do not wear clothes to begin with; those eating often have claws to handle the rest.

Vore is often a consensual activity, even [[In Character|when in character]]. For every player who wants his [[prey]] to go down kicking and screaming as he is ruthlessly gobbled up, there are others who enter a chatroom with the comment "I'm feeling tasty tonight." Some wish to be hunted while others offer themselves up on a platter, and not always figuratively.

Preferences vary so widely in regards to the 'ideal' vore scenario that MUCKs like [[FurryMUCK]] and [[Tapestries]] allow players to create publicly accessible tables of 'flags' to indicate their preferences and facilitate compatible pairings. Flags like 'no pain,' 'predator,' and 'soft vore' supplement broader flags not specific to vore like 'bisexual' and 'male-biased.'

Popular places for vorarephiles include the [[Vor Cafe]] on [[Tapestries MUCK|Tapestries]] (adjoined by [[The Feedery]], which caters to [[fat furs]]), the [[Zaftig City]] mailing list, (for some inhabitants) [[The Giants' Club]] on [[FurryMUCK]], [[Jess]] and [[Avon]]'s [[Vor-com]], the largest vore MUCK [[Voregotten Realm]], and one of the largest Vore communities, [[Eka's Portal]]. [[F-list]] is also used by many vorarephiles to roleplay said acts.

=== Types ===

* '''Soft vore''' - In ''soft vore'', prey is consumed alive and whole — though not always willingly — and are often unharmed before reaching the stomach, where [[Wikipedia:digestion|digestion]], [[Wikipedia:Asphyxia|asphyxiaton]], [[transformation]] or simple captivity may await. Soft vore is often regarded as sensual and sexually-oriented due to its largely non-violent nature. Some vorarephiles derive pleasure from watching animals like [[snake]]s eat other animals, as they usually swallow their prey whole, a major element in soft vore.<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/soft-vore "Soft Vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref>

: Non-sexual soft vore is used in a variety of literature and artwork. Examples come from [[Wikipedia:Native American|Native American]] folklore, such as one story where [[Wikipedia:Coyote (mythology)|Coyote]] enters the stomach of a giant to rescue a number of people who were eaten alive, or the biblical story of [[Wikipedia:Jonah|Jonah]]. Soft vore is also used in today's cartoons and [[anime]] (such as "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0t1VHUeWBM Eat or Be Eaten: Panic in the Forest]", an episode of the [[anime]] ''[[Wikipedia:Naruto|Naruto]]''). Most instances are harmless [[Wikipedia:sight gag|sight gag]]s or minor inconveniences for a character, such as any Footsoldier being eaten by a Kodo in ''Warcraft III''.

: Sometimes the prey simply being in the predator's mouth, often with implied intent to eat but without actually being swallowed is considered soft vore.{{fact}} Examples include when a recurring [[character]] can't ''actually'' be eaten, such as in ''[[Tom & Jerry]]'', or when they are only supposed to ''appear'' to have been eaten, like in ''[[Shark Tale]]''. This tends to be for humor. In these cases, the prey is likely to comment on the pred's breath upon exiting the mouth.

* '''Hard vore''' - ''Hard vore'' describes scenarios where prey is subjected to injuries, being ripped and chewed. This type of vore involves [[Wikipedia:Cut|cutting]], [[Wikipedia:Bit|biting]], [[Wikipedia:Tear|tearing]] and usually [[Wikipedia:Blood|blood]]. Although there is no inherent sexual characteristic to these actions, to someone with a vore fetish they could be taken in a sexual context. Hard vore has sometimes been referred to as "gore" to separate it from soft vore.<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/hard-vore "Hard Vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref> Non-sexual hard vore is regularly portrayed in movies for mature audiences, such as the ''[[Wikipedia:Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'' franchise and ''[[Wikipedia:Deep Blue Sea|Deep Blue Sea]]''.<ref>[http://femme.fetishist.over-blog.com/categorie-10261802.html "Vore fetishism: Why and how?"]</ref>

* '''Macro vore''' (or, for females, '''giantess vore''') is quite common, which describes being consumed by a [[macrophilia|large or giant predator]],<ref name=voreclub>[http://www.freewebs.com/thevoreclub/charterinfo.htm The Vore Club]</ref> conversely.
* '''Micro vore''' is a combination of vorarephilia and [[microphilia]];<ref name=voreclub /> the transformation into a smaller being often via [[Wikipedia:magic|magic]].
* '''Tiny Vore''' is the opposite of Macro vore, in which case a tiny predator consumes prey much larger than itself. Tiny vore can also refer to an average or even larger-sized predator who has consumed multiple preys of its own size. In a sense, tiny vore refers to any kind of vore where either prey larger than the predator is involved, or where the predator ends up with a belly much larger than itself due to multiple beings and/or objects consumed.

==== Uncommon variants ====

* '''Cock vore''' (or ''male genital vore'') - Cock vore refers to being consumed by the [[penis]].<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/cock-vore "Cock Vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref> Prey enters the urethral opening at the top of the penis, after which they are pulled down the [[Wikipedia:Urethra|urethra]] to the predator's [[Wikipedia:Scrotum|scrotum]], in which prey are absorbed, digested, or turned into [[Wikipedia:semen|semen]] (sometimes known as ''cum vore'') and [[Wikipedia:Ejaculation|ejaculated]].<ref>''[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3085366/ Roco cockvore + cum tf P2]'', by [[PurpleKecleon]] (24 November 2009)</ref> Further variants involve the prey being taken to the [[Wikipedia:Prostate|prostate]] for conversion into semen, or to the [[Wikipedia:Bladder|bladder]] for storage or digestion.<ref>[http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/cock-vore/ "Cock vore"]</ref>
* '''Anal vore''' - Anal vore is the consumption the character via [[W:anus|anus]] or [[W:cloaca|cloaca]].<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/anal-vore "Anal Vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref> The prey is typically drawn through the digestive tract to the stomach where they are digested in a normal fashion. Conversely, prey may simply remain in the predator's [[W:Rectum|rectum]] for a time.
* '''Breast vore''' concerns prey being engulfed into the predator's [[breast]] through the [[W:nipple|nipple]]s.<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/breast-vore "Breast vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref> The consumed prey is usually held there; occasionally they are transformed into breast milk.
* '''Navel vore''' refers to the ingestion of prey through the predator's navel cavity. This usually occurs through pressing the prey firmly against the predator's waist, forcing them against the navel, which expands to an unrealistic size to envelop the prey and eventually force him/her into the stomach. There they are either digested or merely contained.
* '''Pouch vore''' - Pouch vore is a process present in the case of a marsupial predator such as a kangaroo, which involves enticing or forcing prey into his/her pouch. Upon entry, prey is then shoved further down by the predator or sucked down through contracting muscles. Prey may be forced into the stomach or stay in the confines of the pouch, as the predator's preferences dictate.
* '''Absorption''' - Absorption refers to the process where the prey is dragged into the predator by either being consumed by a tail/tentacle or if the predator is a slime, they are covered in the host's body upon any form of physical contact. Either way, the predator's stomach is where the prey usually tends to end up.
* '''Soul vore''' - The drawing out and consumption of the ethereal spirit of a person, leaving them a mindless husk or slave.
* '''Tail Vore''' - The presence of a tail with an orifice/stomach that allows the user to swallow and store a person inside.

Motivations behind the vore paraphilia vary, but [https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=endosomatophilia endosomatophilia] (attraction to fantasies involving complete encapsulation of a living thing within the body of another living thing) and dominance/submission play are two common driving forces. Allowing oneself to be devoured represents an ultimate act of submission on the prey's part, and the ultimate act of dominance by a predator.

== Etymology and psychology ==

The word is derived from the [[Wikipedia:Latin|Latin]] ''vorare'' (to 'swallow' or 'devour') and the [[Wikipedia:Greek language|Ancient Greek]] φιλία (''philia'', 'love').

The term ''vorarephile'' describes someone who enjoys vore. Most vorarephiles describe themselves as being "[[prey]]" — based on how animals are considered to be prey for other animals who are in a higher chain position — while those who actually do the eating in the fantasies, are referred to as a "pred" (derived from the word [[predator]]).<ref>[http://vore.got-game.org/VoregottenRealm/VoreDefinition.html "What is vore? An attempt at a definition."] Accessed 26 February 2008</ref>

Being a [[Wikipedia:Fantasy (psychology)|fantasy]], any orifice may be thought of as capable of vore, but it's really just adding a body part to the word vore. This incorrect use of the word vore is now commonplace. Examples of this well known twisting of the word vore are the "genital vore" scenarios, such as '''unbirthing''', also known as '''female genital vore''' or '''vaginal vore''', and “vorginal”, which involves a character(s) "consumed" via the [[vagina]] and taking refuge in the womb,<ref name="unbirth">[http://aryion.com/content/unbirth "Unbirthing"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''. Retrieved ?.</ref> which is simply a '''reverse birth'''. Others think of it as a mutual, erotic and consensual activity with no injury to the sexual partners involved — in that case, it is not considered a form of vore.<ref name="unbirth"/>

Vorarephilia is typically considered an "imaginary fetish", as fulfilling them, in reality, is both difficult and illegal. Most vorarephiles are aware of the improbability of the paraphilia and are largely uninterested in the idea of [[W:Cannibalism|cannibalism]].

== Vorarephilia and furry ==

Though still considered a fringe interest, vorarephilia is a relatively popular topic for [[roleplay]] and [[art]] in furry fandom, being shared to a greater or lesser extent by perhaps 2-5% of [[furry fan]]s. Its popularity may be due to a large number of predator/prey species that mingle daily, although some vorarephile characters will eat just about anything with no regard for the conventional [[Wikipedia:food chain|food chain]]. Furry vore is also made somewhat easier to depict since many furry characters do not wear clothes to begin with; those eating often have claws to handle the rest.

Vore is often a consensual activity, even [[In Character|when in character]]. For every player who wants his [[prey]] to go down kicking and screaming as he is ruthlessly gobbled up, there are others who enter a chatroom with the comment "I'm feeling tasty tonight." Some wish to be hunted while others offer themselves up on a platter, and not always figuratively.

Preferences vary so widely in regards to the 'ideal' vore scenario that MUCKs like [[FurryMUCK]] and [[Tapestries]] allow players to create publicly accessible tables of 'flags' to indicate their preferences and facilitate compatible pairings. Flags like 'no pain,' 'predator,' and 'soft vore' supplement broader flags not specific to vore like 'bisexual' and 'male-biased.'

Popular places for vorarephiles include the [[Vor Cafe]] on [[Tapestries MUCK|Tapestries]] (adjoined by [[The Feedery]], which caters to [[fat furs]]), the [[Zaftig City]] mailing list, (for some inhabitants) [[The Giants' Club]] on [[FurryMUCK]], [[Jess]] and [[Avon]]'s [[Vor-com]], the largest vore MUCK [[Voregotten Realm]], and one of the largest Vore communities, [[Eka's Portal]]. [[F-list]] is also used by many vorarephiles to roleplay said acts.

=== Types ===

* '''Soft vore''' - In ''soft vore'', prey is consumed alive and whole — though not always willingly — and are often unharmed before reaching the stomach, where [[Wikipedia:digestion|digestion]], [[Wikipedia:Asphyxia|asphyxiaton]], [[transformation]] or simple captivity may await. Soft vore is often regarded as sensual and sexually-oriented due to its largely non-violent nature. Some vorarephiles derive pleasure from watching animals like [[snake]]s eat other animals, as they usually swallow their prey whole, a major element in soft vore.<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/soft-vore "Soft Vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref>

: Non-sexual soft vore is used in a variety of literature and artwork. Examples come from [[Wikipedia:Native American|Native American]] folklore, such as one story where [[Wikipedia:Coyote (mythology)|Coyote]] enters the stomach of a giant to rescue a number of people who were eaten alive, or the biblical story of [[Wikipedia:Jonah|Jonah]]. Soft vore is also used in today's cartoons and [[anime]] (such as "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0t1VHUeWBM Eat or Be Eaten: Panic in the Forest]", an episode of the [[anime]] ''[[Wikipedia:Naruto|Naruto]]''). Most instances are harmless [[Wikipedia:sight gag|sight gag]]s or minor inconveniences for a character, such as any Footsoldier being eaten by a Kodo in ''Warcraft III''.

: Sometimes the prey simply being in the predator's mouth, often with implied intent to eat but without actually being swallowed is considered soft vore.{{fact}} Examples include when a recurring [[character]] can't ''actually'' be eaten, such as in ''[[Tom & Jerry]]'', or when they are only supposed to ''appear'' to have been eaten, like in ''[[Shark Tale]]''. This tends to be for humor. In these cases, the prey is likely to comment on the pred's breath upon exiting the mouth.

* '''Hard vore''' - ''Hard vore'' describes scenarios where prey is subjected to injuries, being ripped and chewed. This type of vore involves [[Wikipedia:Cut|cutting]], [[Wikipedia:Bit|biting]], [[Wikipedia:Tear|tearing]] and usually [[Wikipedia:Blood|blood]]. Although there is no inherent sexual characteristic to these actions, to someone with a vore fetish they could be taken in a sexual context. Hard vore has sometimes been referred to as "gore" to separate it from soft vore.<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/hard-vore "Hard Vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref> Non-sexual hard vore is regularly portrayed in movies for mature audiences, such as the ''[[Wikipedia:Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'' franchise and ''[[Wikipedia:Deep Blue Sea|Deep Blue Sea]]''.<ref>[http://femme.fetishist.over-blog.com/categorie-10261802.html "Vore fetishism: Why and how?"]</ref>

* '''Macro vore''' (or, for females, '''giantess vore''') is quite common, which describes being consumed by a [[macrophilia|large or giant predator]].<ref name=voreclub>[http://www.freewebs.com/thevoreclub/charterinfo.htm The Vore Club]</ref> Conversely,
* '''Micro vore''' is a combination of vorarephilia and [[microphilia]];<ref name=voreclub /> the transformation into a smaller being often via [[Wikipedia:magic|magic]].
* '''Tiny Vore''' is the opposite of Macro vore, in which case a tiny predator consumes prey much larger than itself. Tiny vore can also refer to an average or even larger-sized predator who has consumed multiple preys of its own size. In a sense, tiny vore refers to any kind of vore where either prey larger than the predator is involved, or where the predator ends up with a belly much larger than itself due to multiple beings and/or objects consumed.

==== Uncommon variants ====

* '''Cock vore''' (or ''male genital vore'') - Cock vore refers to being consumed by the [[penis]].<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/cock-vore "Cock Vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref> Prey enters the urethral opening at the top of the penis, after which they are pulled down the [[Wikipedia:Urethra|urethra]] to the predator's [[Wikipedia:Scrotum|scrotum]], in which prey are absorbed, digested, or turned into [[Wikipedia:semen|semen]] (sometimes known as ''cum vore'') and [[Wikipedia:Ejaculation|ejaculated]].<ref>''[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3085366/ Roco cockvore + cum tf P2]'', by [[PurpleKecleon]] (24 November 2009)</ref> Further variants involve the prey being taken to the [[Wikipedia:Prostate|prostate]] for conversion into semen, or to the [[Wikipedia:Bladder|bladder]] for storage or digestion.<ref>[http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/cock-vore/ "Cock vore"]</ref>
* '''Anal vore''' - Anal vore is the consumption the character via [[W:anus|anus]] or [[W:cloaca|cloaca]].<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/anal-vore "Anal Vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref> The prey is typically drawn through the digestive tract to the stomach where they are digested in a normal fashion. Conversely, prey may simply remain in the predator's [[W:Rectum|rectum]] for a time.
* '''Breast vore''' concerns prey being engulfed into the predator's [[breast]] through the [[W:nipple|nipple]]s.<ref>[http://aryion.com/content/breast-vore "Breast vore"] at ''[[Eka's Portal]]''.</ref> The consumed prey is usually held there; occasionally they are transformed into breast milk.
* '''Navel vore''' refers to the ingestion of prey through the predator's navel cavity. This usually occurs through pressing the prey firmly against the predator's waist, forcing them against the navel, which expands to an unrealistic size to envelop the prey and eventually force him/her into the stomach. There they are either digested or merely contained.
* '''Pouch vore''' - Pouch vore is a process present in the case of a marsupial predator such as a kangaroo, which involves enticing or forcing prey into his/her pouch. Upon entry, prey is then shoved further down by the predator or sucked down through contracting muscles. Prey may be forced into the stomach or stay in the confines of the pouch, as the predator's preferences dictate.
* '''Absorption''' - Absorption refers to the process where the prey is dragged into the predator by either being consumed by a tail/tentacle or if the predator is a slime, they are covered in the host's body upon any form of physical contact. Either way, the predator's stomach is where the prey usually tends to end up.
* '''Soul vore''' - The drawing out and consumption of the ethereal spirit of a person, leaving them a mindless husk or slave.
* '''Tail Vore''' - The presence of a tail with an orifice/stomach that allows the user to swallow and store a person inside.

Motivations behind the vore paraphilia vary, but [https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=endosomatophilia endosomatophilia] (attraction to fantasies involving complete encapsulation of a living thing within the body of another living thing) and dominance/submission play are two common driving forces. Allowing oneself to be devoured represents an ultimate act of submission on the prey's part, and the ultimate act of dominance by a predator.
