Furries are a big community but surprisingly you don't have that wide range of animals you'd expect to see in the fandom. I mean if you type something in the research barr, it can be anything, the result will provide a large majority of canines, mostly wolves and huskies, many felines, being tigers, lions, many scales and a little bit of some other species like foxes, otters and equines.

Where are red pandas? raccoons? bears? rabbits? fennecs? weasels? even for the most popular species, you will notice that those are represended by just 2 major sub species only! dogs? cheetahs? jaguars? house cats? where are you?

We all have a reason for becoming a furry, but given the current repartition of species, I wonder if our choice got influenced by something or a reason? Something from long ago in our childhood?

Let's try to etablish some stats (there are absolutely no official statistics so I will try to do it myself from my own experience on the fandom - this is just a rough example therefore those stats are purely speculative and should NOT be considered as truth).

Major canines (Wolves, Huskies, Shep) 40%
Scalies (Dragons, Drakes) 13%
Foxes 12%
Major felines (Lions, Tigers) 10%
Equine/bovines (Horse, Zebra, Bulls) 6%
Lesser canines (common dog species) 6%
Otters 5%
Lesser felines (cheetah, lynx, bobcat, housecat etc etc) 5%
Other (raccoons, red pandas, rabbits, bears, weasels, bats, avians etc etc) 3%

Observation 1: Canines owns 46% of the fandom
Observation 2: Plenty awesome species owns only 3% of the fandom
Observation 3: 75% of the fandom are the same species over and over again

It's kinda obvious you haven't found furries totally randomly (maybe you did but I bet most of people didn't) so what did influence you so much that you actually ended up here? :P
I believe there could be a correlation between the fact that the most popular fursonas are also the most widespread animals at home just like sheps or husks. Is it your case?

Which animal(s) would you like to see more often on FA?
