Furry culture. What does the phrase bring to mind? For us, we’ve wondered what food and eating habits would be like, and what happens to transportation, but what about the personal side of life? Join us as we talk a little about religion and social taboos.
There is one more episode about furry worlds after this, and we will be talking about games and sports. Don’t miss it!

Wolfin
The friendly wolf-dolphin hybrid will do you no harm. Unless you're a fish. In which case you're now a tasty meal!

What about if two different species had children? Like a wolf and dolphin, would that make Wolfin? Or, say an eagle and a husky?
Inter-species… breeding, I guess, for family friendliness.
Well, we already have one Wolfin, but it’s a mystery to everyone where he came from. I think he waded ashore one day, and the rest is history.
We had an episode on animal hybrids once before, and that got weird in a hurry. I’d rather not touch that topic again!
I like the point what Jesus would be like in a furry world with populated with several (very different) sentient species. If there already are multiple species, it would be a fair consideration that there were also sentient species in the past that are now considered extinct. This could be for any of a variety of reasons, like natural disasters, they simply died out, the result of a war, or the species simply changed so much over thousands of years that it is now considered a different species for most purposes. So what if jesus was a member of a now extinct species? Or what if he was assumed to be a species that is considered mythical even within the furry world? Maybe because no one knows for sure anymore after all this time? In that case, everyone could identify with that picture more or less equally well again.
And the second interesting point you brought up was the Star Wars reference regarding what a furry language could sound like. Just because a particular species isn’t physically capable of speaking a language that doesn’t mean they cannot understand it reasonably well. Like in Star Wars, characters who speak “normally” can still understand R2D2’s bleeping, and R2D2 can understand the human language. So what if it were normal to have conversations where each side speaks a different language?
hey, loved this topic! glad i dug down enough to get to it ;P but anyway, i agree with pretty much everything, especially the music. one of my friends cockatiels caught me headbanging when i played this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr1kk8J1eco and copied me pretty well XD i guess birds like the guitar sound over the electronic sound :3 (i should test it by playing an acoustic guitar next to her birds someday)
