ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Fursuit

A fursuit is like a costume that people wear to look like an animal, but it is a very special kind of costume. Imagine you want to dress up like a dog or a cat or even a dragon, and you want to look just like them! So, you get a special suit made that looks like furry skin and even has a face and paws like the animal you want to be. People who wear fursuits are called furries and they like to use them to play dress-up, just like you might like to dress up as your favorite princess or superhero. Some furries even wear their fursuits to fun parties where other people dress up, too!
