It is passed directly from mother to offspring and young sloths gain the algae and other parasites by the time they are a few weeks old. This species of algae is host specific and has not been found to occur in any other environment. This finding adds strong support to the hypothesis that there is a co-evolutionary relationship between the sloths and the algae of the genus Trichophilus , which may well only exist as a symbiont.

One of the most universal behaviors in the furry fandom is the creation of a fursona — an anthropomorphic animal representation or avatar. Nearly half of furries report that they have only ever had one fursona to represent themselves; relatively few furries have had more than three or four fursonas; in part, this is due to the fact that, for many furries, their fursonas are a personally significant, meaningful representation of their ideal self.

The most popular fursona species include wolves, foxes, dogs, large felines, and dragons.
