A woman who identifies as a furry has candidly revealed what her life is really like - including the cruel comments she receives.
In Sabi Mango's most viewed TikTok clip, which has been watched more than 600,000 times, she went shopping before grabbing a bite to eat with friends.
But throughout, she was dressed as a desert fox wearing a baby pink lolita dress, mask and gloves.
Sabi recently decided to become a furry after she began dressing up as a hobby about a year ago.
A furry is defined as an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up like an animal character.
She recently spoke to the local press and stated that her family and friends have been very supportive.
Whilst she has fans online, some have resorted to leaving unpleasant comments on her social media page.

'I have come to the conclusion that it is about people seeing something that they cannot relate to,' she told the local outlet.
'If they cannot, then something is wrong, and when something is wrong, they have to tell that person that they do not like it.
'Then people want to put others down so that they can feel better themselves.
'I am not doing this so that you will like me. This is my interest, and this makes me happy.
'I hope others find their interest and make themselves happy instead of looking at the internet and writing to others that they should die.'
Sabi has said that she feels that she has always been a 'target' to others, and that in school she was bullied for her interest in Pokémon.
She hopes that she can be a role model to others who are teased for their personal passions.
Her interest in the furry world was sparked by her love for fashion.
Sabi said she often receives cruel comments under her videos making fun of her and her look

In her daily life, she works as a model and has recently worked with the fashion brand, Weekday.
Sabi started to feel that the fashion world was too 'narrow and boring,' and that the furry world was more fun and playful when it came to outfits.
Local press have reported that the outfits worn by furries cost around $19,700 as they are often custom made.
She has highlighted that she doesn't identify with a desert fox, and that she just thinks they are cute and likes to dress up as one.
Sabi finds people are often prejudiced and assume that furries go to work or school in their costumes.
She also finds people think that they walk on all fours, eat animal food, and relieve themselves in litter boxes.
None of this, however, is true, according to Sabi, who is from Stockholm, Sweden.
Comments on some of her recent posts have shown some of what Sabi has to go through each day.
She is determined not to let hate stop her from being who she wants to be.
