A Field Guide to "SL Hybrids"

As readers of this blog have gleaned, I am a reader and a fan of Virtual Neko, the incredibly visually rich and superbly written blog by Stacia Villota, with whom I've become friends.  While Stacia writes about the art of being Neko in SL, there exist a vast variety of anthropomorphic beings in SL.   Kotaku.com has an article entitled a "Field Guide to Second Life Animal Hybrids." 

The article is clearly designed for those who have little knowledge of these creatures and breaks down the differences between Furries, Nekos, Ferrals, Tinnies and other "hybrids."   Not dissimilar from a field guide one may purchase about birds or north american mammals, what is contained in the short guide are pictures, species description and roundup that includes other categories of beings that were not delved into at length, perhaps warranting a second edition of the field guide.  Some lively comments including one from someone who doesn't "understand the point of Second Life" follow.  Read the entire article here.
