If you had to pick a mascot to represent your personal brand of quirkiness general attitude and ambitious, what animal / mythical creature would it be?
I’ve thought about this, and I really don’t know. I think I’m too self conscious to actually pick one, because I’d only be able to focus on negative aspects haha
ETA: Asked a friend of a friend who’s a furry to ask me questions and help determine what I’d be.
He says otter or beaver lol
Does the fursona need to represent you physically? Because if so, I feel like I’d be misrepresenting myself a bit, both those animals are small, and I’m a very large person (6’3/191cm, broad shouldered, and 270lbs/122kg), and they’re both quite furry, whereas I have basically no hair at all on my head or body lol
To find communities in your local area, Telegram group chats are usually the place. They can be a bit hard to get into, I’m sure you’d be welcomed in but you typically need someone in the group to invite you.
For online spaces most furries are unfortunately on Bluesky right now, but I hate that place so I throw in with the furries on Mastodon, they’re really cool people
So, like, what do I do to get started into the new community I’ve just recently discovered I have a deep passion for?

More spirit animal than physical, also amazon river otters exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_otter
Just FYI otters tend to have a slutty reputation in the community… same with foxes…
I’m leaning more and more towards otter lmao
