I HAVE A QUESTION. Why does that fox have hair? It already has fur. Why does it need hair? This...this boggles my mind. Like, I'm seriously asking this one, not just trying to be a dick or anything.
It's not a dick thing to ask :3
There are various forms of 'anthro' (a play on the word 'anthropomorphic').
Some are more human than others or more 'feral' (as in, they have less or no anthropomorphic features and are just talking cats, dogs, whatever) my fursona (again, another play on words (lame, I know) persona this time) has my IRL hair, the one that Mookie_Magnus used before doesn't have hair for whatever reason...it's just personal taste.
Fair enough it does look weird but it's the way that I like it :/
Like...does the hair grow along side the fur? Does it grow on the head instead of fur? Or does the fox just have a wig?
I would guess...there's a layer of fur underneath and then the hair just grows longer though the fur and out like you see it ;3
So it is fur? That makes some sense. At least you aren't one of those I'M A VEGAN TIGER people. You're alright in my books, and those are the best books there are.
Yeah, in the same way that hair IRL is fur in a way (but I'm not sure about that X3)
...what's a "Vegan Tiger"?
They are, fur is made of hair actually. Fur is generally the entire coat which is made out of more then one type of hair and whatnot. I'm probably not the best person to be talking about this.
But a "Vegan Tiger" is just something hilarious from one of my many incidents with the furry...community? I was on a forum at the request of a friend of mine and ended up getting banned while explaining to someone just why a tiger can't be a vegan. So basically I like to use it as an example of people who just don't know what the fuck, because I hate that.
Well, just leave it as fur kinda = head hair

And if they wanted to be a vegan tiger it was probably because they felt an affinity towards tigers and were vegan IRL...
LoL i dunno ¯\(°_o)/¯
But it makes no sense because a tiger would die if they were a vegan. You can't just completely ignore animal biology in a "fursona" otherwise you're just making a person and painting it like an animal in an attempt for attention basically. Honestly I've basically just started to separate things between "furry" and "Anthro" because it seems most furries, be they artists or otherwise have almost no concept of biology or anatomy while someone who wants to actually anthropomorphise something will usually keep these things in mind to some degree beyond "I WANT IT TO HAVE DOG EARS AND A TAIL".

Sounds about right. :3
Aww, come on. It really is a bit of fun.
There are some furries waiting with bated breath for SCIENCE! to come up with a 'treatment' to make them anthros.
Look, it just ain't gonna happen. I know that, YOU know that.
The biology is generally ignored unless it's story/art/whatever specific.
Can you not enjoy Star Wars or Star Trek without understanding the biology of the aliens? Probably not!
It's just the same for us. We just throw the ears, tail, fur, muzzle etc onto a humanish frame and go: 'Look! I'm an anthropomorphic fox now! ^^'
