This is what furries actually believe:

General
Blushing can show through a coat of fur
Species can interbreed
Aquatic animals can survive out of water
Fur covered animals would want to wear clothes
Glasses wouldn't slide off a dog's face
Some animals have penises covered with fur
Human sized bats or birds would be able to fly
Dog-men would have dog dicks, dog-women would have human vaginas
Birds have teeth and can smile or frown
Snouted animals with bifurcated lips would be able to speak
Constructing this list was a better use of my time than studying for a midterm exam

gotta remember that these characters we're creating are supposed to be cartoons to some extent.
*this descriptive term does not apply to fur covered penises (what the christ), dog penises in general, and birds with teeth.
you don't get the genius of toothed birds
it's like ultra-symbolic man
I consider it to be a weird design, IMO. Same with the dog's glasses, the aquatic animals breathing on land, and the species interbreeding. Something tells me you're one of those traditionalist peoples who hates the young folks and how they ruined the fandom with their disregard for realism. Well, sorry to say it to ya, but we're not in the High Classical Greek period of art anymore. We don't have to stick to proportional canons.
And wait - aren't you a human-sized bat?
