Yerf

Yerf is cartoon-like art that represents creatures that have features of both human beings and of animals. Yerf is also referred to as anthromorphic or furry art (see Anthropomorphism). It is a phonetic reversal of the the word "furry".

[Bugs Bunny]? is the archetypal furry. He clearly isn't a rabbit; he walks on two legs and has hands. Yet he clearly isn't a human; he's yerf. Other examples include the race of humanoid ducks found in the role-playing game RuneQuest and the races found in the Sonic the Hedgehog animated cartoon series.

There is a large number amateur yerf sites on the Internet.

Mature, adult, or pornographic yerf is also known as yiff or spooge.
