I actually am dying at the fact that this is on national geographic
Here we can see the wolf cosplayer in its natural habitat
SAME XD
Funamunanagis maximillians are everywhere
Funamunanagis Same hahahha
They’re kinda like animals. Right? Right?
Nonono, being a furry isn't believing you are part animal. It is just being a fan of anthropomorphic animals.
i think you can expressing in other ways, like emmmm (Cough cough, being werewolf). just kidding but the animal thing is something weird, but i have to say some seem so cute, Kinda
yeah they got the definition completely wrong.
+Rage Master this isn't what a furry is oh my gOD
Yeah, a furry is a fan of anthropomorphic animals.
Yea, Therians are the ones that identify with animals in a spiritual way, not normal Furries
“One of the growing number of people who think that they are part human, part animal.” Had me dying.
That is not a furry, it’s another term, I forget what it is, but it’s not a furry
@@kvjbreaker7054 I think the term is therian
@@kvjbreaker7054 otherkin
They’re being misleading on purpose to make it seem weirder than it is… not that it isn’t weird anyway.
I’d describe it as a role play thing, but honestly their definition is spot on as well :/
This is a common misconception about the ‘fandom’ as they do not act like animals but have an in interest in animal characters with human characters
furry awareness is so serious that national geographic had to make a documentary about it
The fact that this documentary was made 10 years concerns me
@Spectre the protogen anti furry
@@asian_boi691agree
Furry awareness is so dumb that National geographic made a documentary about it
@@smileeface what the yiff were they thinking about when they made it?
Of course they pick the ugliest fursuits to represent the community...
Ikr
Now, I kinda like fursuits because fuck some of them are cool and have really neat-o designs
but this is just plain ugly man
ikr they make fur suiting look so bad
agreed
Ikr
I'm not even a furry, but I can even tell how inaccurate this is. Damn. How sad for the Furry community. It's just bad media all around. It's not fair to them.
Ikr they make furries look bad, and they had to choose someone that thought he was a kitten. And I don't believe I'm an animal. I just love furries. Damn National Geographic
Kasi Rainbows whoa bro you don't have to send national geographic to hell. Shit
+dangerous exploration you don't have to send furries to hell either.
I think ur the only normal non-furry! Thx for supporting us!!❤️
dangerous exploration Woah boi you don't have to send furries to hell. Shit
"I dont like to have a lot of attention on me" goes into a NatGeo Documental
0:21
That statement is completely false.
Furries do not believe that they're part animals.
Fursuiting is like cosplaying but as an animal.
There's a separate group for people who believe to be part animal called Other Kin.
You should have done more research before jumping to that conclusion.
😂😂😂😂
Shut up. Furries are degenerates.
I AM A PROUD FURRY
•not because of "yiff"
•not because of "porn"
•not because of "sex"
•not because I "wanna be an animal"
•not because I think "I'm an animal"
•not because I'm "weak afraid and trying to hide"
•not because I'm "retarded"
•not because I'm a "childish idiot"
But because I wanna stand out and express a lifelong interest openly, I wanna put a smile on people's faces, I wanna be myself, no matter what you do that'll never change.
STOP THE HATE ON FURRIES.
Spread this comment EVERYWHERE, furry related or not, post it to fb Reddit, whatever I don't care, just flood the internet with it.
*claps hands*
Woo!!! Way to go, Abhay!!! X3 That is the reality! And if it would be 100% sex, young people wouldn't do it and asexuals wouldn't ecxist in furry coulture. : )
I'm trying to find my fursona how do you know
Furries have autism jesus christ. If you don't wanna get hate don't be such rejects.
Watch this video for an inaccurate portrayal of the Furry communities.
True
Very true.
I felt my IQ drop 300 points watching this. Nat Geo has this backwards.
true
latex only, no kissing on the mouth, twenty bucks an hour.
“Research suggests that up to 85 percent of furries believe they’re not entirely human” had me dead💀
Something tells me they mixed up furry with Something else
Therianthropy or otherkin ig.
If they don't say that in my funeral, I AIN'T DYING!
"...85% of furries believes that they are not entirely human."
Well, I can see that because this is beyond human.
Damn, they HAD to chose that ONE PERSON who thinks they're an animal in the fandom.
Most furries just like dressing up, they don't actually think they truly are an animal. That 85 percent shit is bull.
***** True.
+Maddi Nicole (Tictac) IKR im a furry and i far from beleive im part animal
+Maddi Nicole (Tictac) like seriously I don't think I'm an animal.
Dakota Husky Neither do I.
+Maddi Nicole (Tictac) Yeah, I heard that and got outraged... They aren't even talking about furries, thats otherkin that think they are animals in human body. Otherkin may consider themselves furries, but furries are not otherkin. its like a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.
I'm done. Got through 0:23 seconds. Heard them say we think we're animals, and I was done
fafkin well you do think your a animal
Dnkn Donuts No we don't
Morgan Moses hmmmmm
I watched ten furry compilations
Its kinda like Halloween where you dress up as something but dont believe your that thing you dress up as it cause you think its cool or awesome
Aren’t humans all animal? 😂
Not wrong lmao
No there not
Not all furries believe that they are "part human, part animal"...
The fact that this is on National Geographic is actually really hilarious
It's just an animal documentary
Yea
I dont know if i should laugh or cry (I want to cry way more)
The fact that these people are totally serious about this AND agreed to publicly be filmed and humiliated is a sign of the times…going straight downhill.
This dude knows less about furries than his parents know about him
Lol
Super true
THATS SO TRUE
Petition to reopen Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Majdanek and Tazmamart-Birkenau. and Majdanek camps for furries
So true
When you think you've seen it all, and then this comes out.. I'm speechless..
I love how the guy is just casually sipping his coffee while watching these guys do their thing.

William Nindrago Dragon, Im a furry, but I know for a fact that I am NOT part animal. Im a human in real life. Like everyone else. I like to pretend to be an animal sometimes.
you furry racist . im a furry and i dont belive im a animal.
“Courtney… is a *FURRY* . One of the growing portion of the population that thinks they are half human, half animal”

THE DISGUST IN HIS VOICE WHEN HE SAID "furry" MADE ME BUST OUT LAUGHING LMAOO (0:16)
I really wish nat geo did the research before making this.
Ikr
+Riley Davis
>"I really wish nat geo did the research"
>does no research himself.
Oh, furries.
+LoniVanBuni I researched, I looked it up, and now I'm a furry! Don't assume, or you make an ass out of you and me!
😏 smug life!
So do i
they didn't
"People who think they are part animal"
me: *bruh, i thought National Geographic are the smartest people to know about animals*
First of all it's national geographic wild they're different showcase
And seconds national geographic is all about science and everything but this is just questioning the culture.
Edit: I think I was drunk when I wrote the last part
They never realise that they researched about otherkin instead of furries
believing your part animal part human is saying you think that half your blood belongs to a dog.
and that's not even what furries are
@@starwolfcyberlight4546 bruh
LOL
This is a common misconception about the ‘fandom’ as they do not act like animals but have an in interest in animal characters with human characters
It is mostly just a hobby for most people and not their whole life
@@Ethan-mt1tv lies
The fact that this video is on national geographic makes me die with laughter
Ok most of us don't actually think we are an animal. I love how they choose to review the stereotypical fan
also where the hell are they getting the 85% of furries feel like they are an animal? I'm a furry and I don't feel that way and none of the furries I know feel that way. that's about as bad as saying we're all attraction to anthropomorphic animals or just animals period. only about 10-20% at the MOST are attracted to anthro animals
+Megurine Luka also most furries don't condone bestiality either
Lol
stereotypes exist for a reason. also they needed something interesting lol
Technically we are animals. Humans are animals. But that isnt the point lol. Most of us don't think we are part some other creature. That is a stereotype
"I'm a 24 year old adult" this video needed less than 10 seconds to make me laugh
OMG BAHAAHAHA
That dude is my age
I thought you are 24 boy
I’m older 🥺
Same.
Are we not gonna talk about that mascots are adults who wear furry animal suits?
A mascot dresses up to entertain fans, and make whatever company/sports team or whatever, they make them money.
The first time the narrator even spoke, he was wrong. Proof to never say something you don’t know for sure.
This is an extremely inaccurate representation of the 'Furry Fandom'.
Not all of us think these things, nor are we as weird as you may think! We just share a common interest in anthro animals, not different than any other hobby/interest you may have.
No, you should use "inaccurate" as an understatement .
They chose the wrong guy for this doc........
I know
To XNITROSPARTANX: You'd better watch who you're saying that to, bub... :P
Casey Decker sorry
I know those fursuits are cringeeeeeee
Exactly! Way to centralized on the stereotypical part of the fandom.
This honestly must be the most research they've ever done for a video, I never knew that this is what being a furry actually means. Thanks for educating me.
This is sarcasm btw
@@Fr34ksh0w_C1rcu5 I'm glad. I jumped to reply at first lol
I don't think all people who are furries beleave to be a part animal
A furry is someone who is a fan of anthropomorphic animals, few of us think we are part animal and many if not most of us don't wear fursuits
Thank you! I'm not a furry but that's what I've been saying
Yeah, most of the hate against furries comes from misconceptions.
So inaccurate. People who BELIVE they are part animal are therian. Also it's not "taboo". It's a creative escape and for fun. So don't let our awesome hobby ruin your life. Don't make such a big deal about it
The documentary isn't us
James Smalley mainly because most of us can't afford fur suits
I think this man is otherkin not a furry...
I know! This is BS
Maybe he doesn't know that otherkin is a thing
me too
He's probably been taken out of context
He still is technically a furry but yes he's an otherkin.
*I have been vaporized seeing the title*
The fact that NatGeo got a solid 99% of their information wrong about furries too 🤣
Seriously? This is bull! Most people who wear furry suits don't think they're "part animal". You just had to chose the few people who think they're actually animals to interview.
Cierra Jones NOT ALL
Thank you
"Furry suit" (it's fursuit, everyone stop with the term 'furry suit')
Bro took this seriously lmao
Damn, why does everyone mistake the furry community with the other kin community
Idfk
How ar fury and otherkin not misake? ill be having now that the comrtre ar difernt, oitherkin/napkin aer real animal wheis fury air ereal aminal dresupt in am dead/ualive/unhaunted animal corpsecark, if othekin aer rel bfury but how they are on tumlr when the fury art on on devientdraw. Lastem chekc the othfre kin and african barkig at the ocean and boaty but not at the coastal tree huggers? but furry do bark and pedohile at the tre hugs so that is turyue.
Despise Everyone Error. Computer did not understand statement. Please try again when you are not drunk.

How do everyone mistake Therians for Otherkin? I mean therians think they are part animal, the otherkin think they are mythical or supernatural beings.
*95% of furries thinks they’re not entirely human*
Ah yes, can I know where did you get that information?
"Here is a wild furry in it's natural habitat"
*A hybrid fox, dragon, and plant*
Hold up
"plant"
Hold on
Plant.
Well I'm a peashooter
Biolante but a furry
If he can be a plant I'll be an STD
It makes sense since they're all vegetables
Christ, NG gave us all a shitty brand name. Furry doesn't mean you think you're half animal, it's being a fan of anthropomorphic animals.
Fucking Google it.
Ikr. Jesus Christ, I expected this to be slightly flawed, but damn, it was more than I expected. They've confused us with otherkin.
Rocco Foxtrot Yeah, and pretty terribly too :/
I know right
Nat Geo wild should go to anthro con, and ask ppl there.
+Naømi Casual true so true
Imagine how disappointed a dog would be if their owner dressed up as a giant mouse
My Opinion: Furries Are Not Making Crimes And They're Not Criminals Why Do U Really Hate Them They're Just Having Fun With Their Life Like Any Other Human In This World !!!
I thought this was a meme parody. Then I looked at the channel...
Same, i regret everything.
Yep
Facts
I cant believe this
They might have done it, but I cant believe this was 100% serious
In my 15 years of existence in planet earth i never expect National Geographic done this
Same here, I’m just stunned this channel used to post educational stuff
Happy 16. Birthday
Me too
Hey, I’m 16! Samzies!
I always thought that furries were just people who liked to wear costumes to make kids/people smile.
We are, sadly we get alot of misconceptions and people love spreading rumours of us. However I do agree that a small part of the furry community are like this which is another reason why we have a bad reputation.
The fact that when they say a furry related word they sound disgusted
Question. Why the hell is this marked for mature audiences? There's nothing mature about this video.
Lol
What? There's nothing sexual about this. So why?
Herbert Derp I don't know, but this in is the most misleading NatGeo video I've ever watched. I think my mom's seen this on TV. Glad she doesn't know I'm a furry.
Chris D No worries man. I don't judge.
Herbert Derp 99% of the stuff they say in the video, I don't ever do.
national geographic, you messed up big time. being a furry is not being “half animal”, and you probably upset half (or more) of the whole furry community.
miami mathias that got me mad and I'm not even a furry
Yes.
Most likely the whole furry community
fish fish fishy fish No its just that we like anthro animals
And?
OMG- I Can't with the fact this is legit- Like... Why would national geographic make a documentary about furries? LMAO
This is some real national geographic classics
“One of the ones who believe they are part human, part animal.”
I’m sorry, is this a documentation on furries? or a documentation on otherkin?
Definitely otherkin
Plus it’s for everyone.anyone can be a furry it’s not only for children
yh where'd they get their diploma, the Royal College of Deep-fried Treats?! Cause they're certified donut-holes
both of them are a natural mistake so meh, potato tomato

Imagine kids in 3500 that will have to study furries in their history books
no we don't think we're animals
This video is so wrong! They just talking about an otherkin not a Furries
@@higanhanaschannel4889 Yeh
These people have no business in this subject. How can you make something, like this when you don't even understand It? They don't even know what a furry really is! Honestly it's insulting.
It really is
A Red Hamster I wish, like some of the others wish to keep them from this sort of thing. pain is all they will feel, because they wish it real. just dont teach them about it. you will kill their innocence.
A Red Hamster I think the fandom is insulting itself. You might as well make this a new gender.
Your right. 😑
A Red Hamster u r just a triggered nerd
It's nice to see Natgeo do another documentary on wild animals in their natural habitat.
His inner kitten💀
THIS IS SO INACCURATE
Bella Hayes You're inaccurate for saying that
i know right
Ikr
Nat Geo just gave the worst definition of a furry I've ever heard
**Cough** CSI described us worse **Cough**
+Mouse TheMouseyMouse (Laughing Jack) lol. That's true though.
flaming stone Yep.. .-.
Yep
As a furry, I'd have to disagree with statement, "furries think they're half animals". We just think anthropomorphic (stands on there back legs) animals are cool. Yes, there are some people that act like animals but they shouldn't even be *considered* furries.
The misrepresentation of furries on a wildlife channel makes this funny
*BURRY* **british accent has entered the chat**
I heard that too!!!
That isn't part of the British accent he just mispronounced it
Mabye because they hate you and furries
🅱️urry
Ah yes

“Part of the growing number of people who believe they are part human, part animal. “

Nat Geo, I like your channel, but how you described and translated furies is just pure cringe. Not only did you choose some of the worst parts of fandom to talk about, but the 85% of furries not believing they are total humans... Just no...
"Research suggests that up to 80% of furries believe they not entirely human"
Take a look at this comments section. Your "research" is complete bull.
what fact did they base that percentage off of?
@@wepolwl4853 the .00000002 percent they asked
Spend on Survey of hunger in Africa ❌
Spend on Survey of how many fatherless belief that they are half animals ✔️
This is going down in the history books.
2:30 people definitely dont find you weird and strange for attacking them
furrys are fans of anthropomorphic animals otherkin think they are animals or part animal.
Thank you, National Geographic, for this very inaccurate representation of us. You tried.
Seems like they got it on point, because you guys are creepy AF
Not really, no. this entire thing is entirely false
Captinprocat Right. And you can't even use grammar properly. And I'm the mentally ill one? Please take a seat.

"..and plant.."

I've never heard of a plant fursona before. XD
+Chris D yha me too
In my opinion I like it. It's really creative. xD
eggsBenedict exotic butters
@@ChrisD__ i think he means like his character was born with plant hair but same never heard of it
Reasons this is wrong:
1. We don't thin we're part animal. + humans are mammals, a type of animal!
2. He wears a collar with out suit, odd.
3. These guys have some cheesey looking fursonas, not toony, just trashy.
4. Real furrys don't just fursuit everytime they go outside.
5. "research says up to 85% of furrys believe they're not entirerly human" and where'd you get that number ya dingus?! where'd you get your information, your butt? Was there a pole or something? You positive every furry took it? Cuz I now I didn't.
6. We're not all adults here, and as far as leaving it behind, fursuits are expencive. you can't just buty a new one when your kid outgrows it.
7. I am glad on the other hand that they didn't make us out to be perverts, although I know people who think that all furries are and that fur cons and meets are for the rule 34 garbage. That's a small, outcast, group we all avaoid because we don't want to be thought of as them.
8. HOW DID THIS EVEN GET ON NAT-GEO!!!???????? (If the internet has really come to this, then we are all screwed.)
yet they make a game about animals wearing clothes, IM ASHAMED THAT THEY DONT REALISE THAT
i know right! "Animal Jam" I used to play it but now I hate it. its revolved about trading items and making your animal look cool and they think furries are worse?! pff!
Luna Silverwing .-. I’m 12 and I’m one 😂 my frickin first fursuit I made is 10 TIMES BETTER THEN THERES. my second one is 100 times better then there’s. They make us look goofy in this vid omg
Luna Silverwing your so right, and also they should of said that there is a online part of the fandom and art in it... not just being your "inner animal fur thing"
I feel like people hate furries because they think it's a fetish.
i have been watching national geographic for 6 years
and never noticed this
Men I was shocking that this is actual geographic show
Great at feral animal documentaries.
Horrible at anthro animal documentaries.
...At least that's what I've learned from this experience, lmao.
idiotic genius you are the only other sane human in this comment section.
"Think we're animals"no no no honey that is otherkin please get real information
haunted_spritz you mean therians actually
Wolfie Girl11 therians are a sub group of other kin.
Otherkin is he name of the community that thinks their prt animal.
Therian are the sub group that relate to a canine
Kitty Plays Minecraft there NOT only related to canine -_- just wow *sarcastic clap*
Wolfie Girl11 wait really lmao? I've always been told thats how it is by everyone and everywhere I've read. What is the difference between therian and other kin then?
Kitty Plays Minecraft nope it's any animal not just canines well those other people are wrong...
This is a great escape from reality
Oh they actually did it🤣
No
25 seconds in.
Already 100% wrong on what furries are. LOL
bladske IKR LOL
disgusting furries
bladske yup
Purey disgusting normie
Ikr I'm just like wait what it's like a Halloween costume we wear it because it looks cool (in my opinion)

Did you notice? You never hear them saying “we think we’re part animal, part humans”. Only the narrator said that

ok. i love the fandom but this video made me cringe.
I ship it u made me cringe
lol saaaameee
0_0 I did not know that. . . intresting

They also fail to mention that furries raised thousands of dollars for children's hospitals (not a furry, but I respect them very much 😊)
And I , as a furry , RESPECT YOU SO MUCH ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Ailka Cosplay FURRIE
Just don't let them anywhere near children.
They did? How?
Sarah Stevens my friend showed me a list of things furries raised money for, not one was for people, they were all for animals, so can you tell me what charity ur talking about? Not saying g raising money for animals is a bad thing, btw.
crazy how people used to think that furries LITERALLY wanted to be a dog or animal. its just a character, and some people still dont know that for some reason.
That 24 year old adult looks like 44
