A radiocollar is a device placed around the animal’s neck, like a real collar, and it’s mostly used on wildlife.
Thanks to this device, the movements, migration routes, and habitat use of animals are monitored using the global positioning system.
The spatial and temporal resolutions provided by the GPS tracking method allow the identification of critical habitats, migration routes, and breeding grounds, which are essential for the survival of species.
The method has been found to be very useful in the conservation of endangered species, as it provides the opportunity for continuous tracking without invading the habitat of the species.

WHY DO I FEEL CONNECTED TO IT❓
Everytime I come across a picture of a wild canine or feline wearing one of these collars I immediately think “yup, that’s me”.
As a domestic dog, I’ve always felt very connected to dog collars, and this connection doesn’t end when I’m feeling more wild.
I’m a wild animal, but my life is constantly “monitored” by humans: I have to depend on them when it comes to friendships, relationships, food, house, school/work, public transport,… all of these things can’t miss in my life and, in order to have them, I have to be with humans and to depend on them.
Humans also take care of my wellbeing, like doctors and psychologists. And the humans I live with actually track me on a geo locator app to make sure they know where I am in case something happens and they need to reach me.
On this aspect, it’s something kinda “philosophical”: this connection reflects how I feel in my life with humans. Wild animals normally shouldn’t wear collars, but these devices are necessary for their individual and specie wellbeing, and so humans are in my life.
But there’s another aspect: the more animalistic one.
The tought of being an animal with a radiocollar makes me really euphoric bc it’s like being a registered wolf, an “official” wolf, if that makes sense (and a lioness aswell).
I would love to have a real radiocollar as gear, but it would be really expensive and I don’t know if you can just randomly buy one.
So, a few months ago I’ve decided to give myself an ID number like the ones radiocollared wolves are identified as (based on their birth date, etc.).
My ID number is 1309F.
HOW DID I CHOOSE THIS ID❓
13 -> it would be 2013, when I started to experience my first animalistic experiences.
09 -> I’ve born in 2009.
F -> stands for “female”, my gender.
I hope you liked this kind of post, lemme know if you relate in some way!
I think alot of therians have a tendency to go to extremes in their gear and get stuck in cycles of wanting either permanent body mods or external accessories.
Every so often, I like to do henna tattoos on my front and hind paws, just to show others what I can see, without it crossing the lines into being completely obvious. I like the more abstract styles of the paw prints, it feels more fluid and unkempt- similar to myself.
"I can't connect to nature because I live in a city" Incorrect.
"I can't connect to nature because I can't travel" Nuh-uh.
"I can't connect to nature because I-" Wrong.
Anyone can connect to nature. Please, remove the mindset that nature is something *out there*. Nature is all around you.
The dandelions peeking through pavement cracks, the birds you don't notice on your windowsill, the brambles in the alleys, the storms and sunshine.
All of this is nature. You are surrounded by it. Notice it, learn about it. Write down when you notice the days getting longer, when more butterflies appear and when ripen blackberries ripen. Connect to the nature that lives outside your window, just past the boundary of your front door.
Watch nature documentaries, build a small windowsill garden, let the spider in your room corner stay for a while.
Connection is not determined by proximity, but by effort.
Something I don't see talked about online as much any more is vocals! Learning to sound like your theriotype has typically been a really common discussion topic for therians, and for anyone who's never considered it I highly recommend trying it out.
Human anatomy is capable of producing a ton of sounds, whether that's using your breath, vocal cords, lips (e.g. whistling), hands (e.g. loon calls, snapping), or any other body part. This isn't a practice restricted to therians, either– if your kintype (or hearttype, etc) makes noise there's probably something you can do that approximates it! Even if your normal sounds are beyond the limits of your anatomy, just learning to make any nonhuman sound can be really cathartic.
I've personally always been able to meow and, ironically, bark just from listening to animals as a kid, and now that my voice is lower I've been working on developing a more authentic snow leopard meow (which I've sadly discovered I cannot do in the house because it really freaks out the cats in a way other vocals don't).
Sharing some quick recordings of myself as proof that human anatomy is capable of this stuff!
Reference for the last one since it's not a commonly known sound.
I can't currently make any avian sounds, but that's mainly from lack of trying– I'm sure I could learn, bird calls are one of the most documented types of nonhuman vocals since they're used by ornithologists and a lot of indigenous cultures.
Do you have any nonhuman sounds you like to make? Are there ones you want to try learning? I'd love to hear about it!
I would love to be able to hop and run through the forest and just be covered in scars, my hair having leaves and sticks, bugs circling me, a wild look in my eyes, as I huff heavily from running for so long.
I wanna not only be wild but look wild. Give off the vibe wild, feel wild, breathe wild.
I’m gonna do that on weekends from now on. Go in the forest and just exist. I’ll be able to get over my discomfort with bugs and other crawlies. And if anyone sees? Keep going. I’m so tired of being confined by humans, humans don’t do good for me anyways, this will be my first step into freedom.
(last edited march 11, 2026: added cryptid category, minor reorganization, and a bunch of small additions to a bunch of different categories)
Please suggest anything if you want to add anything! I've tried to include a ton of different creatures and things, and I want to add as many as I can to this list!
Table of contents (in order): birds, mammals, herps, aquatic, insect/arachnid, divine, without solid form, cryptid, plants, objects
First of all, let's get the well-known stuff out of the way:
Vocals
Quads
Masks, tails, wings, ears, paw gloves, collars, whatever other common gear items
Artistic expression (makeup, drawing, etc)
And now, for the more unique ideas (many ideas are repeated for different creatures):
Birds
Sing. join a singing group or take lessons
Wear long jackets that flow in a breeze
Find high places to sit
Build nests
Feather boas as decoration and part of outfits
Wear colorful clothes if applicable to species
Birds of prey
Apple bobbing (simulating hunting fish)
Flamingo
Practice standing on one foot
Drink lots of water (filter feeding)
Mammals
Sharpen long nails
Avoid shaving
Grow a mustache as whiskers (if possible)
Wear furry jackets, leg and arm warmers, furry anything. The world is your oyster.
Often I wish I was just one animal. Just a dragon, or just a coydog. I feel as if it would be easier, both to experience and for others to understand
However I cannot decide to choose between them, as I am both in ways integral to my being. In a way, I am physically a coydog that also identifies psychologically as a dragon, if that makes sense?
It's confusing to feel these identities so completely as well; it's to a point where they almost both feel physical (but I have yet to have a hallucination regarding my dragon theriotype). They are both such important parts of me that I couldn't forgo one or combine them in the slightest.
Anyways I hope this makes understanding polytherians/kin easier for those who don't get how it's possible to have several 'types lmao
