regarding the tags on my last post, which read: there's this auroch-boar-lynx-eagle society based around strength. its kind of like furry sparta. and this is my first example i've created of an inter-diet society and the way this particular one works is that the carnivores who joined have a mutual respect (and fear which really is what caused the respect) of the aurochs, and so these particular lynx and eagle groups ended up allying with then joining because of the benefits aurochs promised them, like food (fish, bugs, and prisoners of war) and POWER. there's this cultural philosophy that these carnivores were convinced of about rather than it being about predator and prey, it was the strong and the weak. and aurochs, boars, lynxes, and eagles were the strong, while chamois and foxes and such were the weak ones. i shall connect this to the ‘tender is the flesh’ moment i spoke of in another recent post. so, this auroch-boar-lynx-eagle society are speciesist against all species they deem to be physically weak, right? this civilisation grew and grew and when invading some weird insular wolf nation they discovered people farms, where they farmed people, for meat, fur, and milk.. the people in question were a selectively bred species descendant from the powerful auroch (cows they were cows this is how i explain cows.) basically what happened was centuries ago this group of iberian wolves stole children from aurochs in secret, children who were presumed missing and/or eaten by predators. these cows were raised and bred to be products. i will get into a bit of detail here under the cut. CONTENT WARNING: abuse, including s/a. basically, think about what goes on in factory farms (except with the injection of hormones only because this civilisation did not have the technology) except now make the cows sentient and anthropomorphic and you get the gist.

everyone was kept in very small, separate stables and they were monitored and punished for suspicious activity, like trying to break out or communicate with each other. if one was particularly unruly, they were tied down. the stables were small as hell anyway so it isn't like they lost much here is the worst part: female cows were forcefully inseminated with the genetic material of a male (that she was not related to, usually, they had things to keep track of this.) if the cow did not manage to purposefully kill her offspring before it was born (hmmm i wonder why she would do that hmmm it caaan't be because she is sentient and does not want to subject another being to her same fate) then when it was born, it was taken away from her. when she could no longer be impregnated over and over again, she was killed for meat. if they were a male, he would be rasied to have his sperm taken and then killed for meat. they were usually used and killed before they turned 20.

introduction (finally)

hello! my names lupin (havent settled on a name yet so just call me whatevers in my bio), im a semi(?) newly awakened therian, i awakened in the summer of 2022! ive also been an on-and-off furry since 2016. my theriotype is an iberian wolf, my pronouns are it/wolf/howl, im seventeen as of posting this, aroace, and identify with a long list of xenogenders!

im unsure of what i want to post on here yet since im relatively new to tumblr but still!! probably will be therian content though.

5 Signs Your Dog Loves You, According to Science

Dogs evolved over centuries from ancient wild wolves into loyal partners to humans.

A growing body of research explains how dogs’ distinctive features and skills strengthened the human-canine bond.

Dogs can tell when we’re stressed, when we’re lying, and mirror our behavior, research suggests.

Dogs have long been considered man’s best friend, and for good reason. Over centuries, our four-legged canine companions evolved to become loyal partners.

A growing body of scientific research suggests our furry friends have distinctive features and skills that allow them to perceive, understand, communicate, and show affection toward humans.

From sniffing out when we’re stressed to tearing up when reunited with their owners, here is what science reveals about how humans’ special relationship with dogs developed over time.

Scientists generally agree that dogs evolved from wolves to become the furry, fetch-loving domestic animals they are today roughly 15,000 years ago. But scientists have different theories on how exactly the split from wolves happened.

In a study published in the journal Nature in June, geneticists at the Francis Crick Institute analyzed the genomes — or all of the genetic information — of 72 ancient wolves from Europe, Siberia, and North America spanning 100,000 years. Then they compared the wolf DNA, which makes up the genome, to DNA of modern and ancient dogs.

By analyzing the DNA, scientists found early and modern dogs are most similar to gray wolves in Siberia about 13,000 to 23,000 years ago, suggesting domestication took place somewhere in Asia. 

“That’s consistent with a wolf population from Central Asia leading to the origin of dogs,” Adam Boyko, a canine geneticist at Cornell University, who was not involved in the study, previously told Insider.

That might not be the end of the story, Boyko added. The findings don’t rule out the possibility that dogs may have been domesticated multiple times, as ancient dogs in the Middle East, Africa, and Southern Europe also show ancestry from wolves in the Middle East.

Though their wild ancestors are known for their ferocious nature, dogs evolved to have bigger and more baby-like eyes over time.

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science in 2019, researchers discovered that dogs have muscles around their eyes that help them make puppy dog eyes — that soft squinting look that melts your heart. Wolves don’t have these muscles, which suggests dogs’ adorable expression is an evolutionary trait that helped them get on better with humans.

Dogs may be able to smell when you’re stressed, according to a study published in Plos One in September. Stress responses trigger physiological changes in humans’ sweat and breath that dogs can detect. 

The study involved collecting breath and sweat samples from human participants before and after they completed a “stress-inducing” task. Then dogs trained in identifying odors had to choose between a sample from an unstressed human and a stressed one. The dogs correctly identified the stress sample 94% of the time.

“This study demonstrates that dogs can discriminate between the breath and sweat taken from humans before and after a stress-inducing task,” the study authors wrote, meaning they were able to identify human odors associated with stress.

Dogs even adopt their owners’ personalities. Research published in the Journal of Research in Personality in 2019 surveyed more than 1,600 dog owners, representing about 50 different breeds. The owners were asked to evaluate their dogs’ personalities and answer questions about their dogs’ behavioral histories. The owners were also asked questions about their own personalities.

Extroverted owners rated their dogs as more active and playful, while owners of more fearful dogs reported more negative emotions. 

And while several studies support the notion that dogs and owners often look alike, that’s largely because owners tend to pick dog breeds based on the breed’s resemblance to themselves.

Research suggests dogs are hardwired to communicate with and understand people in unique ways.

“Dogs are very responsive to the way that we talk to them,” John Bradshaw, anthrozoologist and author of “The Animals Among Us,” previously told Insider. “It tricks many owners into thinking they literally understand every word.”

But while they might not understand the words you’re saying, Bradshaw added, dogs are very good at learning to respond to their owner’s tone of voice in specific ways. “It’s almost true that the dog is responding to every word they say,” Bradshaw said.

A study published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2021 found that dogs can understand the difference between humans’ accidental and deliberate actions — or, in other words, when we screw up.

Dogs were fed through the gap before the experimenter started to withhold the reward intentionally or unintentionally.

The experiment involved 51 dogs who were taught they’d get tasty treats from a human through a gap in a glass partition. Then researchers looked at how dogs reacted when food rewards were withheld from them.

In the study, dogs waited much longer to retrieve the treat when the researcher purposefully withheld it than when the researcher dropped it or couldn’t get it through the glass partition. That finding suggests dogs can distinguish between humans’ intentional actions and unintentional ones.

“Dogs’ communicative skills uniquely position them to fill the niche that they do alongside humans,” Emily Bray, a canine-cognition researcher at the University of Arizona, Tucson, previously told Insider in an email. “Many of the tasks that they perform for us, now and in the past (i.e. herding, hunting, detecting, acting as service dogs), are facilitated by their ability to understand our cues.”

Dog happy to see owner.

Madoka Nakamura

It’s common to see dogs overjoyed to be reunited with their owners.

In a study published in Current Biology in August, researchers recruited 22 dogs and their owners. First, researchers measured tear volume in dogs’ eyes during a normal interaction with their owners, as a baseline. Then, following five to seven hours spent away from their owner, researchers measured tear volume on the surface of the dogs’ eyes each time they were reunited.

After a long period of separation, the dogs’ eyes were brimming with tears when they saw their owner.

“We found that dogs shed tears associated with positive emotions,” Takefumi Kikusui, the study’s lead author and a veterinary researcher at Azabu University in Japan, said in a press release.

This behavior may be related to dogs producing more oxytocin, commonly called the “love hormone,” when they see their owners. Oxytocin also plays a role in emotional bonding in humans.

Prey treasure hunt numbers

Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua. Joshua 8:2Īnd thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it. Deuteronomy 3:7īut all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it. Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation: Numbers 31:27Īnd divide the prey into two parts between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation: Numbers 31:32Īnd the booty, the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep. Numbers 31:12Īnd they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which by Jordan Jericho. Numbers 31:11Īnd they took all the spoil, and all the prey, of men and of beasts. Numbers 23:24īehold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. Numbers 14:3Īnd wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? Numbers 14:31īut your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. Judah a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion who shall rouse him up? Genesis 49:27īenjamin shall ravin a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. One endangered population, the Iberian lynx, struggles to survive in the mountains of Spain, far from the cold northern forests where most lynx live.69 Verses About Prey from 18 Books Genesis 49:9 Humans sometimes hunt lynx for their beautiful fur. About two months later, females give birth to a litter of one to four young. Lynx mate in early spring or late winter. Bigger Eurasian lynx hunt deer and other larger prey in addition to small animals. The lynx are so dependent on this prey that their populations fluctuate with a periodic plunge in snowshoe hare numbers that occurs about every ten years. Few survive in Europe but those that do, like their Asian relatives, are typically larger than their North American counterpart, the Canada lynx.Īll lynx are skilled hunters that make use of great hearing (the tufts on their ears are a hearing aid) and eyesight so strong that a lynx can spot a mouse 250 feet away.Ĭanada lynx eat mice, squirrels, and birds, but prefer the snowshoe hare. These stealthy cats avoid humans and hunt at night, so they are rarely seen. Their large paws are also furry and hit the ground with a spreading toe motion that makes them function as natural snowshoes. Lynx are covered with beautiful thick fur that keeps them warm during frigid winters. The lynx is a solitary cat that haunts the remote northern forests of North America, Europe, and Asia.

I have an essential question for you: if Rome was furries, what would the predominant species be? Got into an argument with someone about this once.

Well, the Roman Empire was multi-ethnic, so in a furry au I’d expect lots of different species. But I imagine certain provinces / regions would probably have a predominant indigenous species or two as follows:

Italy - predominantly wolves, but a high proportion of eagles among certain patrician families

If by your question you meant the city of Rome and its earliest inhabitants: I vote wolves. I think the part of the founding myth involving the suckling of Romulus and Remus by a she-wolf makes this clear. I can see why one might argue for eagles, but if Romulus were not a mammal, sucking wolf tiddy doesn’t make sense.

Gaul - boars and horses

Britannia - red scalies

Iberia - bovines, Iberian lynx

Egypt - predominantly felines, but many other minority groups: crocodiles, hippos, jackals, vultures, ibises, falcons, et alii

North Africa - North African elephants, with a Barbary Macaque minority, among the indigenous furries. See the Levant for Carthaginians.

Levant - dromedary camel, oryx, ibex

Asia Minor - wild goats, Asiatic lions

Greece - … really not sure about this one. Given the myth about Dionysus turning pirates into dolphins and dolphins as the “national animal” of modern Greece, it seems like dolphins might be a good candidate but idk. I would expect a lot of owls in Athens, for example. I feel like there’s a more appropriate candidate for the national fursona of Greece but I can’t think of it.

Thrace - horses, unequivocally 

Illyricum - mustelids (weasels, badgers, otters, martens, minks, polecats etc.)

I redesigned an old OC. I’m actually not used to drawing furries and it’s about time i change that cause how else am i gonna draw gift art for my new furry friends?

Her name is Sofia, she’s my only non sonic furry. she’s changed completely, poor thing. She’s still a wolf but the dark brown accents and white muzzle markings are slightly inpired by the iberian wolf, an endangered species existing in Portugal and spain

She used to look like this (undercut because big image): 

Aaah my art from 2012

May the good lord help us all, she has eyebrows now
