What kind of Animal are you?
Furries?

http://kdka.com/video/?id=43117@kdka.dayport.com

Anthrocon is the world's largest convention for those fascinated with anthropomorphics, which are humanlike animal characters. We are a collection of artists, animators, writers, costumers, puppeteers, and just everyday fans who enjoy cartoon animals and their kin. This Summer we will convene at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA, from June 26-29 for workshops, panel discussions, an art exhibition and a dealer room, and much more! Membership is open to any and all who like to imagine what it would be like if animals could walk and talk as we do.

'Furries' Descend On Golden Triangle
Anthrocon -- the world's largest furry convention -- is being held this weekend at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
It's a gathering of about 2,500 people who focus on anthropomorphics -- fictional animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.
At the annual convention, enthusiasts dress up in masks and full-length animal costumes,including big, furry tails.
Channel 4 Action News anchor Sally Wiggin said their elaborate costumes can cost upwards of $1,000.
Many of them are walking around the Golden Triangle in full gear, drawing some confused looks from others on the streets.

1. what did the little dog think, I wonder.
in the end of the video of the 'animals', when the newslady's talking, you can see someone with a dog on a leash. I wonder what doggies think of the people with tails and animal faces.. maybe they can tell it's not real.

I'd be a goat maybe, if I could :headbang:
