It's very single purpose, but there's Furtrack for fursuit photography. One of the few sites that leaves photos in full quality rather than compressing them down to 1-2 megapixels.

It's been such a tragedy that we now have such good quality cameras, yet all the media we consume is incredibly downscaled and compressed to save money.

Furtrack seems to suffer from the same problem a lot of photo sharing sites do: the only people who visit are the subjects and other photographers.

For example: https://www.furtrack.com/index/species:fennec_fox

Tens, hundreds of photos for each suit, but almost no views.

I do wish they added some more interesting viewing modes. But their primary goal has been to link photographers with fursuiters, often people who don't know each other or have contact details. A huge improvement over having to dig through google drive folders and personal websites for your photos.

Sadly social media has very much taken over for casual viewing.
