furries without hair look a little weird to me. like... too close to actual animals and too far away from humans.

The second you throw a muzzle on something it is the farthest thing from a human and you can't make that connection anymore.
IMO hair on a anthro is weird because there is no purpose for it....like at all and it clashes with the animal appearance that they have.

Humans have hair due to the evolutionary trait of it insulating our heads and cooling it when wet. For anthros, hair would serve no purpose and this is why Chimpanzees and other monkeys close to humans do not have hair. Is hair suddenly suppose to take on a "Hair" quality to it on say a wolf when their fur has a distinct feel, use and appearance? That looks fucking weird and if we're talking anthros how the hell do you explain biologically why the fur on their head is a completely different type of growth, appearance and sheen to the rest of the body?
You can't.

You can't.

The hair on a furry's head is thinner, denser and longer than the rest of the fur on the body? That would make it shinier. A different coloration and separate hair-growth might even be biologically justifiable as a sexual selection trait, in the same vein as the dazzling color pattern on a peacock's feathers. That way, we can justify all the furries with crazy hair color schemes - their head-hair (and body fur, in the case of many anthro characters) contains weird pigments and patterns, which are all mate selection mechanisms.

So fucking hot.

Guys...we're talking about furries here, it's entirely fictional. Biology dosent apply here
