What's a fun, interesting, true fact about your fursona species... That absolutely 100% is not a part of your fursona because it's too gross or weird?

Everybody draws the line somewhere, and as you learn about your favorite animal you usually learn a few things that are super cool to know and much less fun to imagine on an anthromorphized guy. What nature fact hits that spot for you?

Mine is that butterflies taste with their feet and have optical nerves in their genitalia. Fascinating thing to learn, extremely cool fact, there's probably SOMEBODY into those things and that somebody sure as hell isn't me

Like a lot of wild animals, painted dogs love to regurgitate their food. Unlike most wolves, however (at least to my understanding, no shade at wolves), painted dogs don't only regurgitate to feed pups, but to feed anyone who didn't get a piece of the hunt.

Anyway, I hate barfing.

As it turns out, remora don't nibble on the bits of carcass left behind by the sharks and assorted other critters they cling to. Instead, their diets consist primarily of their hosts' feces.

...Yeah, we're not including that, the worst thing Cassiopeia will ever eat is an arby's beef n' cheddar.

hedgehogs slurp up things with new smells and spit them into their quills. It's called self-anointing.

Cabel uses shampoo and conditioner instead

i forgot about the 'foxes are literally a screaming font of piss' thing

not specific to mack obviously, but there's some foxes in the stable, and yeah, they do not make a habit out of declaratively pissing to and fro

This was less not included because it was "too gross and weird" and more not included because I only just now found out, but sand cats A, pee to mark territory (okay that one I know housecats and big cats do so I'm not surprised and also it's more of a "nope, too gross"), and B, apparently like to chew up their food and hide it. That's definitely equal parts "didn't know that and now that I do, nope not including that, Pat doesn't do that." Badgers apparently have a gland under their tail and use a combination of that and a series of small pits dug throughout their territory that they'll poop in to for scent marking. I haven't actually addressed whether Pat does that

sometimes lynxes just scream at each other and they sound like people do! in the woods! it's super fucked up and weird. like imagine going down a trail at night and just hearing screaming. ominous and spooky. weird little fact i found looking for lynx pictures

cows, especially boy cows, very often taste each other's piss. they lick it while another is urinating, or lick the piss soaked hair on their pal's penis, and then do a big flehmen. I'm sure it's important for communication, hormones etc... there's nothing wrong with it per se and I'm not judging, but I'm personally not particularly into it.
