A furry which has been stated in "Guinness Book of World Records 2008" is said to be a club genre for a subculture that enjoys dressing up as animals. "Furries" as they are known, meet at confurences and share their love of animal anthropomorphism - that is, the depiction of animals with human characteristics.
An anthropomorphism or "Furry" could be known as the rabbits in Richard Adams novel "Watership Down".

1. having a lot of hair
2. a fandom of people who take an interest in anthropomorphic art or literature of any sort be it poems, stories, animations, or drawings.
Being a Furry ,however, doesn't make you a zoophile and you do not need to have a "Fursona". Each Furry is different just like everyone not in the fandom. Some chose to dress up in costumes representing animals, they are called, "FurSuitors".

A furry is a person who has an extreme interest in animals that have some human characteristics. They are usually found around petting zoos, pride conventions, furcons, around children or in their parent's basement.
There are two sub-categories: Furry and Furfag.
A furry simply likes those human-like animals and talks about the a lot.
A Furfag is a Furry who at least owns a fursuit, a costume of an animal. They are found at orgies, furcons, at a not supervised petting zoo and on Patreon asking for animal pornography for 10-500$.
Some of them are paedophiles and also ask on Patreon for "Cubs", a term for infant animals like puppies, kittens, etc.

Example 1:
Person: "Hey, wanna go to the petting zoo?"
Furry: "Yes! I love these animals!"
Example 2:
Person: "Wanna go to the petting zoo?"
Furfag: "Nah I already had an orgy today."

A person that shows interest (some to a lot) in anthropomorphic animals, or "anthro" animals, meaning human-like. There's been a lot of speculation that all furries are sex-crazed maniacs. This is not true. While there are people like that out there (about 1/10th of the fandom), this cannot be proven, as how diverse human personalities are. A lot of furries like to draw and create art. Others create or wear fursuits, write stories/poetry, or just like to hang out with other furries. All (Or a lot of) furries have their own furry persona, or "fursona," which could vary from a fox or dog, to a dragon or lizard. Some fursonas are pokemon or digimon. What you call those kinds of furs would be "poke-furs," or "digi-furs."
There are over 40 annual furry conventions worldwide, or "furcons," the largest being "Anthrocon," in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There, furries meet up and do things like browse art, hold charity auctions (sometimes), create art, crafts, music, or literature, and play video games (Just to name a few. Depending on which convention, they might have different things on offer).
Most furries just like to have fun, and that's what the fandom's about (Well, that and anthropomorphic characters).

"I'm proud to be a furry, and no one can change that."
"She attended the furry convention."
"He likes to draw furry art, like this cute fox."

A furry is someone who thinks anthropomorphic animals are cool. Meaning animals that walk on two legs like we do and dress in normal clothing. Note that just because you like wearing a fursuit doesn't make you a furry. Being a furry means this is who you want to be and who you are. It's means doing furry art, charity, going to conventions, and just doing it for fun!
