[Hervoo]

Hello gentlemen, fast question: according to you, shark is a furry? I mean beacuse he dosent have fur, also when im thinkin now, are crocodile is also a furry?

[Pepper Pimienta]

the term furry derives from the term Anthromorphic animals Basically any animal that can walk on two legs and talk as a human even some ferals are consider this. though another term people use for certain furs is scalie which usually stands for lizards and such.

Yet yes, Shark = Furry.



And damn right that female sharks are the best.

"Furry" has many definitions flying around. Many take it literally, which is technically correct (things with fur, so "furry" stuff). But anyways, if you have a character that is a shark, I'd answer 'yes' to your question, following this reasoning:

- Is it an animal? Real or fiction doesn't matter. (Birds or dragons, for example)
- Does it have anthropomorphism in it? (human, humanoid, human-like; attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities)

If both check out, it probably is furry. Gets confusing with addition of androids/cyborgs and such, but that's topic for another discussion.

I'm not sure if sharks have scales or not. I'm going to google it.

According to google: Sharkskin feels exactly like sandpaper.
It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the shark swims.

So I'm going classify sharks as scalies.

The general broad term for the anthropomorphic community is "Furry."

However, it can also be divided up into sub-groups based on the individual species.

Scalies - Scale covered animals like reptiles and probably fish.

Featheries - Birds, obviously.

Furries - Fur covered animals.

The term "furry" is mainly a general term now. It can encompass everything GrandMajora mentioned. It's just for people that are in to anthropomorphic characters or show an interest in them. It doesn't have to be restricted to creatures covered in any amount of fur.
