Anthro New Mexico started with just three locals from Albuquerque. An impromptu photoshoot turned into a meet one day and the idea to create the ABQ Fursuit Group came to mind. In one month, their telegram grew to 280 members, and they revived a dead community with their biweekly Furmeets. Three months later, they began the process of creating New Mexico's first and only Furry Convention, Anthro New Mexico!
