Please note:
** In order to preserve the confidentiality of the participants and integrity of the survey, only selected data sets are given. 

**This data is based on the results of over 600 participants. However, not everyone completed the survey in its entirety. 

**Some of the charts may represent rounded figures 

With that in mind, we would like to share some of the information we have collected with your help: 


-- Most respondents were young, with the average age of 24.6 years old

-- Most respondents were male ( 81% )

-- Most respondents were White (89%)

-- Most respondents were American (83%)

-- The most frequent occupation listed was: Student (38%)

-- Most respondents did not own a fursuit (82%)

-- About half of the respondents were in a relationship, and of those that were, 76% were in a relationship with another furry


Sexual Preference Data:
 
bisexual = 37.3%, heterosexual = 32.7%, homosexual = 25.5%, other = 8%
















Responses to: "How much of your time do you spend actively participating in the furry community?"


** several days a week = 56.9%, once a week = 18.3%, once a month= 8.4%, a few times a year = 16.4%



Furry Activities Frequencies:

** frequency = number of respondents who indicated they participated in these activities.
For example, over 300 of the 600 people who took the survey indicated they  "met with friends from the internet in real life"

Thank you again for your support with our survey. We will continue to process the data collected. If you have any questions or comments or would like to participate in future research please contact us at studyf3@gmail.com.

The UC Davis Furry Research Team

Hello,

We are a team of researchers from the University of California, Davis, consisting of postdoctorate, graduate and undergraduate researchers. We are interested in learning about furries as individuals as well as furries as a community.

We have developed a survey that covers several aspects of the furry lifestyle, including relationships and personal experiences. Please note that all demographic information is used to prevent duplicate data and not for identification purposes. Also, all questions are optional and you can skip any questions you don't want to answer.

It is important to note that our study has been approved by IRB (The Institutional Review Board) and that every researcher is trained and certified in Human Research Protection. Only trained researchers will have access to the data and everything will be kept strictly confidential. No information will be traced back to participants, and participants will not be contacted unless they contact us first, directly through email.

Also, once all the responses have been gathered and analyzed, we will be posting a summary of the results. However, no personal or confidential information will be posted, that is, any free response questions will not be made public. All information will be summarized, pertaining to furries as a community, before being posted.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at: StudyF3@gmail.com
