Still don't get it? Here's an explanation from the woman doing the wrapping, a fursuit maker known in the furry world as Skye, the wolfdog, real name Gabi (surname withheld for fear of trolls).
"You remember when you were a kid and you said to your friends, 'What would you be if you were an animal?' And you were like, 'Oh, I'd be a wolf'. We take that into our adult lives and turn it into an artform and a performance."
And yet, that's just scraping the surface of the curious world of furries. It's a subculture, born out of science fiction conventions in the US in the 1980s, but not every furry is into sci-fi, and not all furries wear a fursuit.
