Furries -- members of the strange but strangely endearing "furry fandom" -- gathered in Denver over the weekend for one of the dozens of furry conventions that take place throughout the world each year, at which furries get together in their animal costumes and do stuff. Among other activities over the weekend, the furries had a parade. These are pictures of that parade. I suspect they don't quite capture the weirdness of the scene downtown on Saturday, but judge for yourself after the jump. Photos by the aptly named Anthony Camera.
