ANIMAL OF THE WEEK
Hello everyone! It’s Zed Shirogane and it’s another animal of the week segment!
Animal of the week is a segment where we highlight an animal that is really cool, cute, creepy, or just plain fascinating. There will be a coloring-page illustration for you all to print out and color in at home, as well as an adoptable character inspired by the animal of that week. The best part? All proceeds made by said adopt will be donated to conservation charities!
Whenever possible, we do symbolically adopt the animal, but only some animals have the privilege to have that as an option unfortunately; thus we collect extra funds to donate to many different species conservation charities, donate towards wildlife rehabilitation programs, or send funds to scientists so that they can research underappreciated animal species. Join us on this fun adventure, and I hope that you, too, will fall in love with these amazing animals!
We’re finishing our series on the Rorquals today!
Rorquals are the largest group of baleen whales containing ten extant species in three genera. Rorquals take their name from French rorqual, which derives from the Norwegian word røyrkval; the first element røyr originated from the Old Norse name for this type of whale, reyðr, probably related to the Norse word for "red," and the second from the Norse word, hvalr, meaning "whale" in general.
All members of the family have a series of longitudinal folds of skin running from below the mouth back to the navel – except the sei whale and common minke whale, which have shorter grooves. These furrows allow the mouth to expand immensely when feeding. These "pleated throat grooves'' distinguish balaenopteridae from other whales. Most rorquals feed by gulping in water, and then pushing it out through the baleen plates with their tongue; the exception is the gray whale, which gulps in and filters large amounts of marine sediments from the seafloor.
This Week’s Species: Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae)
Characteristics
The sei whale's body is typically a dark steel gray with irregular light gray to white markings on the ventral surface, or towards the front of the lower body. Its skin is often marked by pits or wounds, which after healing become white scars. These are now known to be caused by cookie-cutter sharks.
Fun Facts
Initially, the sei whale's speed and elusiveness partially protected them, and later the comparatively small yield of oil and meat. Once stocks of more profitable right whales, blue whales, fin whales, and humpback whales became depleted, sei whales were hunted in earnest, particularly from 1950 to 1980.
Habitat
Sei whales live in all oceans, although rarely in polar or tropical waters. The difficulty of differentiating them at sea from their close relatives, Bryde's whales and in some cases from fin whales, creates confusion about their range and population, especially in warmer waters where Bryde's whales are most common. In general, the sei whale migrates annually from cool and subpolar waters in summer to temperate and subtropical waters for winter, where food is more abundant. Despite knowing some general migration patterns, exact routes are incompletely known and scientists cannot readily predict exactly where groups will appear from one year to the next.
Diet
This rorqual is a filter feeder, using its baleen plates to obtain its food by opening its mouth, engulfing or skimming large amounts of the water containing the food, then straining the water out through the baleen, trapping any food items inside its mouth. In the North Atlantic and North Pacific, it feeds primarily on copepods. Off central California, they mainly feed on anchovies between June and August, and on krill during September and October.
Life Cycle
Mating occurs in temperate, subtropical seas during the winter. Gestation is estimated to vary around 10 months to one year. During the breeding period, a mating pair will remain together. The whales can reach ages up to 70 years.

Conservation
There are records of ship strikes and entanglements involving Sei whales , but it is unclear whether they constitute a significant source of mortality. Because of the Sei whale’s offshore distribution, most ship strikes could go unnoticed. There are reports of a pathological condition in several North Pacific Sei whales that resulted in deterioration or loss of baleen; however, the current frequency of this condition, and its impact (if any) on the population, are unknown. An unusual mass mortality of at least 343 Sei whales that occurred in southern Chile in March 2015 is still under investigation but may have been caused by a harmful algal bloom associated with a developing El Niño event, the frequency of which can be expected to increase as the Pacific Ocean warms.
Here are some links to articles about the conservation of Sei whale:
Adopt
All funds from this adopt will go to animal conservation. The goal for this month is to save up to help fund the monitoring of local baleen whales with the Oceanic Society. Specifically for 2 years monitoring of SAYU-1.004, known as Lily, who is a humpback whale that has been seen twice at the Farallon Islands off of San Francisco, CA and one year monitoring of HW-MN0502559, known as Alexis, who was first sighted in 2022 and was estimated to be born in 2021 meaning she is as of now only 3 years old. These two adoptions require a total of $160 and this adopt will be one of 5 total created to achieve this goal, making $150, with extra funds pooled together from previous AOTW adopts to cover the additional $10 cost. It will be available for $30 at Shirogane Studios.
Coloring Page
Enjoy this coloring page made by yours truly, for you! Feel free to print it out at home to color in. If you enjoy the design you can also purchase it on a multitude of products like shirts and stickers: links to these options can be found at Shirogane Studios.
Thank you to our Animal Ambassadors–our AOTW supporters–who have helped make the world a little bit better for animals. If you wish to support this project, or maybe just really like these character designs and want to get access to some exclusive adopts and bases, you can find our patreon for this passion project HERE.

SPECIES SPOTLIGHT
Hello readers, and welcome back to an exciting week of Species Spotlight! This is Danielle once again making a guest appearance for another segment.
Before we put the spotlight on this week’s original species, I wish to let all of you know that we’re still looking to recruit more hosts for this segment. If you enjoy diving into species lore and/or find original species fascinating, then this might be for you! Feel free to message our boss, Yeshua, or our HR, Carkas, if you’re interested in hosting Species Spotlight.
This week we will be diving deep underwater with a species called Deepdrakes by AtherianFilms (a.k.a LuftRaptor) and JiggleWiggle!
Deepdrakes are a deep marine-dwelling species of sapient draconic fish that share many traits with sharks, eels, and deep-sea anglerfish.
While there is clear evidence of a historically dominant female caste and the clear ornamentation meant for threat displays and attracting mates, this behavior is not reflected in the modern species. Females are, on average, noticeably larger than the males with more robust builds. Fins also differ between the sexes with male fins coming to sharper points compared to the rounded shape of the females.
They display a bioluminescent glow that is constantly active on the ends of their barbels, as well as the markings around their eyes and tail. This glow can extend to other parts of their bodies where blood is concentrated.
Deepdrakes are exclusively water-breathing sea creatures that pull in and pump out water through the mouth out of their four gill slits on either side of the neck. They have dexterous webbed front paws with strong dull claws as well as flatter and wider back claws that are better for swimming and climbing.
Their skin is rubbery with a slick mucus coating. It is theorized that Deepdrakes are able to attract smaller prey and interact with others tactilely by secreting a menthol heavy oil in addition to other fluids in areas that are blood saturated or glow. Their blood is a bright blue due to the copper based oxygen carrier called hemocyanin.
Deepdrakes have large wide opening jaws with two rows of sharp needle-like teeth on the top jaw and a single row on the bottom. Females have longer and larger canine teeth with some specimens having almost two meter long sabers. Set deeper into the throat is a set of pharyngeal jaws that are nearly completely hidden at rest. The false teeth lining the mouth can vary between subspecies and individuals.
Deepdrakes are apt marine predators whose diet largely consists of deep water cephalopods such as squid and octopi, though shellfish and other deep-sea fish will be eaten should the opportunity arise.
For more fun facts about these species, feel free to check out the description from the third species guide post here.
Nomads
Nomads are a wider and bulkier subspecies that adapted to large pressure changes through a sturdier swim bladder and the ability to exchange ballast quickly and painlessly. They are a migratory species consisting of large pods that stick to the surface of the open ocean. Normally, such an environment would breed parasites, but mutually evolved seabirds keep them free of barnacles and the like in exchange for giving the birds a place to rest and socialize like their cousins' relationship with cleaner shrimp and wrasse.
Their diet is largely the same as a standard, though they must dive to hunt the same prey. To facilitate this, a nomad will belch most of the air retained in the swim bladder in a highly pressurized bubble column, allowing them to dive down up to 800 meters. Socially, pods are the norm; however, many nomads have also moved into the region's capital city and even into many smaller seaside villages. Living in the brackish canals, they became pillars of their communities, offering transport and craft trades.
Standard
Standard Deepdrakes are the baseline of the species and from where all subspecies evolved. They are a social, mixed industry and tribal age society in the Mesopelagic zone, commonly nesting in burrows and larger caves dug into continental shelf cliffs and the cliffs of steep islands below 200 meters.
Deepdrakes are avid collectors, salvagers, hunters, and diggers. Swimming at speeds exceeding 40 mph, they're well suited for their main diet of squid & fish. Their society consists of tribes of several families who lay claim to specific regions, though there's very rarely conflict between tribes for resources as population size is smaller than supply. The cliffs they call home are pockmarked with large decorated cave openings leading to networks of vertical tunnels with many small nooks and rooms. Single cave networks are host to one to three large families with single-family caverns being the most common.
Their bodies, while robust, have a swim bladder that cannot easily depressurize. This makes going near 200 m or higher a heavy risk to health, barotrauma being all but guaranteed. However, several years back, one inventor drake made it possible for other Deepdrakes to obtain a small valve implant in the chest linked to the swim bladder with a tube, allowing off-gassing anytime. This boosted their advancement and allowed for them to intermingle with the other surface subspecies for the first time.
Reefborn
Reefborn exist in stark contrast to their two cousin species. These flamboyantly patterned drakes live in primarily shallow warm water reefs though have been known to nest in seagrass plains among rocks and to move into seaside cities and towns. They are mostly solitary nesting individuals due to being so forward, social, and excitable that they make far better guests than roommates. Apart from nesting pairs, they tend to dig out a single resident den within the reef. The den itself is just large enough to accommodate sleeping, a small nest chamber, and a treasure cave for keeping salvaged or gifted trinkets, or anything that caught the drake's fancy.
Reefborn Deepdrakes have massive collapsible fan-shaped fins that rise above the head and wrap around their jaws. In the same vein, the sail on their back extends much further up and outward while having the same collapsibility. A unique trait is their array of warm bright or pastel colors much like the coral around them. Some can be described as looking downright gaudy and revel in this fact. Aside from ornamentation, Reefborn drakes tend to be much more lithe. This makes them well-suited to squeezing in between corals and rocky crags of their home.
Offspring
Deepdrakes lay a hard-shelled egg in clutches of one to three per partner, the shell itself being formed out of nacre secreted within the female’s oviduct. This nacre is well-suited to their environment as the high pressure and even rapid pressure changes do not harm the whelpling inside. Eggs are typically hatched in nests with the exception of the Nomad variety who don’t have permanent nests. Instead, a parent will tuck the eggs into the pits of their wide front legs to hold the eggs. Some modern tribes have taken up carrying young in sashes around the chest. Young Deepdrakes are called Whelps and have several differences between adults such as large paddle-shaped tails and lighter colors. The most notable feature is the nacre nose horn that hatchlings are born with to help break out of their egg shell.
Deepdrakes are an open species, which means you’re welcome to make as many adopts or characters as you’d like without any restrictions on making your own. Feel free to use the species guides to help you with your creations. You can even buy/sell commissions involving them as long as you link back to both LuftRaptor and JiggleWiggle for proper credit.
For your own Deepdrake characters, LuftRaptor and JiggleWiggle recommend for simplicity to keep to the design aspects that fit within which one you end up wanting to make. In the end, though, you aren’t actually required to check every box. Have fun with them!

FURSUIT FOCUS
What’s up everyone? Yeshua here to bring you another edition of Fursuit Focus! I don’t want to waste any time so let’s check out who we’re meeting!
Today we’ve got a big, scary, yet lovable dragon! We’re putting the spotlight on Xero!
At first glance, Xero can look a bit imposing, which is to be expected from a dragon, but his fierce appearance is very cool to see! He is mostly gray with a few blue and black markings in different parts of his body, making for a relatively straightforward but still visually appealing design! The stripes on his chest and legs are subtle, yet stand out nicely, and the color choice for these lowkey markings complement the dominant grays well. Then you’ve got the classic features of a dragon: horns, long tail, sharp claws, and a big snout. Huge props to the aptly-named Tiny Wyvern Creations team for executing Xero’s design phenomenally! Not only does the anatomy look great, but I think they hit a sweet spot for how Xero looks; he has his ferocious appearance — particularly because of his expression but also thanks to how well the other dragon features look — yet the overall style of the suit still leans toward the toony side, so I think Xero gets the best of both worlds!
Like I mentioned, Xero may look just a tiny bit scary, but don’t let that fool you because he loves interacting with people! It doesn’t matter if he’s interacting with other fursuiters or with regular folks, Xero just enjoys fursuiting around others! Even if it’s something as simple as someone asking for a photo with him, he always appreciates getting to interact with someone, “I STILL feel like it’s an all new experience I get to enjoy each time!” He’s not lying, either; one quick look at Xero’s social media and it won’t take you too long to see photos or videos with other fursuiters whenever he’s not on his own – and we’ll get to some of his solo content in just a second. Whether you have a suit or not, though, be sure to say hi to Xero if you ever run into him fursuiting somewhere! Sounds like it’ll be a good time, plus, who wouldn’t want to get a photo with a big, strong dragon like him?
When it comes to photos, Xero’s got a good idea of how he likes them. In general, he enjoys indoor environments, especially for roaming! This is especially true considering how much he likes interacting with folks, “... when I’m just roaming and mingling, indoors with AC is the place to be!” Makes a lot of sense, especially considering Xero’s full suit is digigrade! Xero does enjoy taking stunning photos outdoors, noting there’s lots of places outside where he can take beautiful photos both during the day and at night. Still, he makes sure to be careful fursuiting outdoors because he’ll usually be more exposed to the sun, and his suit is more likely to get dirty, especially his floor-dragger tail. Whatever the case is, though, you can expect tons of different photos from Xero, from shots in lovely natural spaces, to silly indoor pics with fun poses! Speaking about the content he likes to make and share, Xero says he enjoys a bit of everything! “... anything ranging from planned thought out pre-poses with professional camera work or video ideas, to complete spontaneousness!”
Xero’s road to getting his fursuit was pretty long! He found the fandom quite a while back when he was in high school, seeing tons of photos and videos of fursuiters. Xero says school was a bit of a stressful time for him, but coming across the fandom and the concept of fursuiting in particular, became something that helped with his mood, so it’s safe to say he was very interested: “... something about seeing people fursuit felt calming in a way. How they felt comfortable wearing them, how they interacted with others, and the artistic overflow of having both various character designs and also them being brought to life in different fursuit making styles.”
Fursuiting became so fascinating to Xero that for the longest time, he knew he’d go all out if he ever got a suit, and it’s not hard to tell he kept that promise! It took Xero about ten years to have enough money to get a fursuit as well as find a fursuit maker who would create his dragon boyo. Xero says Tiny Wyvern’s work on his suit was excellent, and as I talked about in the beginning, I agree with him! “Tiny Wyvern proved beyond a shadow of a doubt they were the perfect choice to bring my scalie boy to life.”
Xero is just getting started in the fursuiting scene so you bet there’s much more ahead for him! He first started fursuiting in December 2022, and soon after followed through with full suiting in April 2023, but as you can probably tell, Xero seriously dove into fursuiting in the little time he’s been doing it! We’ve covered a lot the specifics of what he enjoys doing, but no matter what he does, he’s going to have a lot of fun along the way, as he should! I will let Xero have the final word, as his final remarks on fursuiting was just a joy to read:
⊱────⊰✯⊱────⊰
That’s gonna do it for today’s edition of Fursuit Focus, thanks so much for joining me! It was a blast writing about Xero, and I definitely encourage you to give him a follow if you liked what you saw from him; he just might become your new favorite fursuiter!
We’re always looking for fursuiters to show off here, so if you want to appear here, just use the tags #furryweekly and #fursuitfocus when you post your fursuit photos and videos to social media! You can also reach out to me or our usual host, tahlmorra and tell us you want to be featured, or you can also suggest your friends or favorite fursuiter!
Once again I thank you all for stopping by! I hope to see you all next time, but until then, take care!

FURSUIT DESIGNING TIPS
Hi everyone, Olivier the space goat here with the segment on fursuit making and fursuiting in general!
For this week, we are focusing on cleaning again and specifically…
Cleaning Feetpaws
So you may have had a photoshoot, and your camera person said “you know what would look dope? Stand over there,” and “over there” is a muddy area. You gladly oblige because the photos are epic, but you forget you have white feetpaws and they are no longer looking epic.
Okay so maybe you haven’t experienced that exact scenario, but if you have feetpaws, the more you use them the more likely they are to get dirty. Depending on what your feet are build on, here’s what I recommend.
Sockpaws: Brush out the biggest gunk and throw it in the washing machine on gentle – if it's fully fabric. Sockpaws usually have no hard inner bits or glued foam, keep this in mind.
Outdoor or indoor feetpaws: These paws often have a hard plastic or foam sole, either exposed or covered, and glued foam added to inner shoes making them not really ideal for washing in the washing machine.
In this case, I get a wet rag, and going with the fur fibers, I wipe out the grossness. I try and brush out the fur between my passes of the rag to keep it looking nice. Try not to have your mud dry out on your paws, remove it ASAP! If you don’t, it can stain some fur.
Something else to keep in mind, if your paws were made by someone, contact your maker, as they will always know best!
⊱───⊰✯⊱───⊰
Next time I will be talking about headbases! So be sure to come back for that! I hope today’s tutorial of sorts was useful for you all.
Till then, and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to me through Instagram or join my Discord server.
P.S., apologies for not posting longer segments weekly, there is a lot of fun chaos happening here but I try to focus between all that on the segments. Greetings from the Netherlands!

FURRY QUOTE
Hello, everyone! This is Danielle coming back to enlighten your day with an inspiring quote themed around spring. Let’s take a look!
“Spring is far more than just a changing of seasons; it's a rebirth of the spirit.”
When you think about it, spring can really do this for the spirit. We’d be able to shed off any negative emotions or energy that we’ve been holding onto and let it go. Once the season cycles back to spring, a deciduous tree regrows its leaves, leaving a fresh sense of renewal. All of us can achieve this renewal if we put our minds to it. Practices such as relaxation, taking a walk, being out in nature, or anything else similar to these are just examples of taking a step closer to a rebirthed spirit.
The moral of this is to do whatever makes you feel happy because that’s what can rebirth your spirit. Overall, you can create your own happiness. Sometimes even trying out or learning something new will lead you to an amazing adventure that’s yet to come. Please enjoy where your life’s ride takes you despite any bad that happens.
~~~~~
This concludes this week’s Furry Quote. I hope it brought some encouragement to your day.
