So, more sites for animal research!
Im so glad ppl actually found this helpful, so I found more sites similar to animalia ☆
[yes I accidentally deleted this... I'm writing a second time]
Most similar to animalia are animalcorner.org and animalspot.net.
More focused ones are allaboutbirds.org for avian therians, oceaninfo.com and oceana.org (the marine life encyclopedia can be found under the research section) for ocean creatures.
Earth.com is still general, only it has a plant encyclopedia too!! woohoo!
For paleotherians helpfull can be newdinosaurs.com!!
And for more magical creatures I found mythicalencyclopedia.com, which even has sections by type and culture of the creature. And even a section of artificial ones. And an app?? it seems??

normalize not telling anyone about the intricacies of your trauma or nonhumanity or disorders or disabilities or anything else important about yourself. save that info for the people who care.
Here’s a little explainer post I made for my instagram. Thought I’d post it here too! 🐾
It does a disservice to all listed communities to have them be misconstrued and misunderstood to the degree that they often are. Hopefully this post helps some folks understand the differences and nuances a bit better! ^^
Saw a tiktok of a guy saying he doesn’t feel comfortable talking to minors because he’s 19. And it’s just. I’m so fucking tired of this.
And like to be clear, I’m speaking as a victim of pedophilia when I say: We need to get over this collective fear of endangering children. Because holy shit, this stuff is getting out of hand.
The average person is not a threat to a child.
And also!!! It is actually really really good for kids to have friendships with adults that aren’t their family.
Having friendships with adults when you’re younger prepares you for adult life in a better way then only interacting with adults that are family members or teacher as well.
And also if there’s any sort of weird behavior happening with adults or teachers, it’s very helpful to have unrelated adults, you can go to, and also have a model for what normal adults are supposed to look like.
And also! You’re just making it way easier for pedophiles to prey on children when you completely avoid interacting with them as an adult. Because kids are naturally inquisitive and curious. They are going to want to interact with adults and they are going to want to ask questions. And if the only adult adults that are willing to interact and speak with them or adults who have ulterior motivations. Guess what’s gonna happen.
Also on a more general note. Having a model for what a normal healthy adult is supposed to look like makes it way easier for kids to be able to recognize and identify when adults in their personal life are being weird.
Somewhere around 4-5th grade, there was a documentary around this pack of wolfs and vampires. Let me tell you I watched that thing religiously
I haven't been able to find it again since though
Do you ever look at a fellow alterhuman and wonder who inspired their alterhuman awakening?
I do. I like knowing what motivated others.
Myself, I realized our alterhumanity 10 years ago and the ones that most inspired me were fromfiction, liongoatsnake, & who-is-page. They'd all made excellent essays that would stick in my head to this day.
How about you? What/who helped you explore your alterhumanity?
hot take therians calling other alterhumans types "rare" rubs me the wrong way. No Jacob lynx and tigers and snow leopards arent "rare" and "hard to find" you are only watching the same four massive creators.
Am I the only one who calls people I don't like "humans"?
Like if I perceived someone in a negative way I will place them as a human and nothing else
Sometimes therian spaces just feel like "therians are valid! but-", then they give you an entire paragraph about why you aren't one of the "alright therians"
