    Yes, however it’s hyper specialized and mainly used scientifically to observe furries in their natural habitat during one of their habitual gatherings. Furries often gather together at least once a year in a congregation usually referred to as a “convention”. These conventions are science’s primary source of knowledge about furries as they’re rarely seen outside them. As such, there’s a lot of demand for the ability to observe and interact with furries without spoiling the convention, which lead to the invention of the fursuit. It’s very similar to a traditional ghillie suit, however they often include some form of active cooling as researchers are often unaccustomed to the suit’s heat.
