Hmmm... Wildcats/Lynxs?

I've only ever seen one other 'Wildcat' and she was a feral cat, not a wildcat.

Possibly because she doesn't play to your interests and you passed her over: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5215841/

Bovine are somewhat less representated compared with other species I find.

Non-dragon reptiles too, they are pretty scarce.

Hairy Nosed Wombats... Striped Rabbits just to name two, these animals barely
survive as it is, and I doubt a lot of people have heard of them. D:

Capybara :V

NumberXXXVI ~numberxxxvi

Traditional Artist

Yesss, definitely. I should not be one of the only furverts with one of them among their characters. Seems like half the capy pics on FA are either drawings or photos of regular capybaras, not nearly enough anthro ones.

Kesarra ~kesarra

Watcher

I see your capybara and raise you a nutria. And a paca.

Even-toed ungulates other than deer, cows, and sheep; sloths, the smaller species of wild felines, whales, breeds of dog other than the most popular ones, armadillos, anteaters, extinct mammals aside from sabre-tooths, marsupials aside from kangaroos or wallabies, echidnas not drawn in the Sonic the Hedgehog style, primates, shrews, tenrecs, any kind of mole, rodents aside from mice and rats, manatees, platypi... and that's just mammals.

I love uncommon species <3

dbd ~dbd

Enlighten me on those ungulates? I'm not a huge animal buff, so I'm only thinking of other deer-like creatures like antelope and moose.

NumberXXXVI ~numberxxxvi

pigs, especially other than the domestic species; peccaries, hippos, pronghorns, chevrotains (mouse deer), giraffes, okapis, llamas, camels, alpacas, elks, and any deer or deer-like species with tusks: water deer, musk deer, muntjac. If you're talking about including extinct species, the list becomes much longer, and some scientists believe that whales and their relatives are descended from this group and that they should be lumped together.

Beavers and wallabies. Need more of them.

Pangolins, as in what do you get if you cross an armadillo with an ant eater - I had one as a pet when I was a kid, very groovy

Rough collies, definitely not enough of them let alone in more fetish based themes. I find the lack of fluffy disturbing :( I might be biased for em but still.

Scorpions. I don't think I've ever seen an anthro scorpion. I don't think I've ever seen any Ents (from Tolkien's books, just to note where they're from) either.

Merlin ~merlin

Also,
Binturong
Marbled Polecat
Springhare/springhaas
Andean Mountain Cat
Sugar Glider

Moose. Don't think I've ever actually seen one in the fandom.

C-Rex ~c-rex

Also squabs, snipes, baiji, marmosets, possums, Mexican walking fish, dumbo octopi, sloths, maybe the Mindoro stripe-faced fruit bat, aka flying fox.

spotted skunks, wolverines, badgers, ratels(honey badgers), dolphins, whales, eagles, sugar gliders, ligers(they exist in the real world), coatis

NumberXXXVI ~numberxxxvi

Traditional Artist

14 years ago

Ooh, coati, good one. Hadn't thought of those. What about zorillas?

I do love honey badgers. Probably the reason they're the only one on your list aside from whales that i've used for a character.

NelsonDemifur ~nelsondemifur

Watcher

zorillas too. also platapus and echidnas and snakes

NumberXXXVI ~numberxxxvi

Traditional Artist

14 years ago

like i say above, echidnas that aren't in the Sonic the Hedgehog style.

I've actually seen quite a few snakes, I guess I don't really think of them as rare.

NelsonDemifur ~nelsondemifur

Watcher

14 years ago

maybe not echidnas then because that's all i can picture. but there needs to be more porcupines

NumberXXXVI ~numberxxxvi

IGUANAS. Also, Marine iguanas.
