Question, "What's the history of ferals?" from Douglas Collier. Dil answers while looking uneasily at an open book, "When and how the first ferals appeared is unknown, but because we're genetically the same species as anthros, they've existed side by side through most of recorded history. Whether they got along is another question..."

Question, "Why do anthros wear cothing and ferals don't?" from Teric. Dil answers, smirking while wearing a bow tie, "It's actually more of a cultural thing than a strictly anthro/feral thing. In some regions it's common for both to eschew clothing, especially those with fur or feathers. In many countries though, it's generally accepted that ferals usually only wear clothing for formal occasions, warmth, or fasion." Then we see Dil wearing a pair of pants, with his tail stuck in one of the pant legs. He says, "Besides, I've tried the whole pants thing... Doesn't work."

Question, "How do ferals come about genetically?" from Nova. Dil answers while holding a magnifying glass at a chart of four squares, each containing a combination of upper and lowercase f's, "Quadrupedism (or feralism, or whatever) is a recessive trait, meaning the gene can be carried and passed down without appearing in the offspring. But if both parents have the gene, it's possible the child will be born feral."

Dil smiles and glances up at the previous questions and says, "Man, I'm popular today!" Chris and Ine glance up as well as Chris asks, "Don't we get a turn...?"
