It wouldn't even surprise me if Barack Obama were a closet furry. But maybe I'm generalizing from one example.

It would surprise me. I'm pretty sure closet furries are pretty rare. I just wouldn't be more surprised than that about any other given person.

From what I've read, estimates vary from 5% to 10%.
