Nope they can be any animal.
The idea behind therianthropy is that a person is so strongly guided by a specific animal that the almost are that animal but in human skin, like a totem. Another idea is that a person was a specific animal in a pst life and when they were born into this one, they did not lose all the characteristics of that animal.
Some therians take on physical characteristic of that animal, claws (or really think nails that grow to points naturally), fangs (shaps canine teeth that were not filed to look that way), sometimes gold colored eyes, great night vision, acute hearing or smell. These are all examples of wolf therians and I have yet to meet a therian of another animal race, but they are surely out there.
I did actually meet someone who said they were a wolf therian a tiger therian and a dragon therian all in one...and I can't say thats not possible, but I find being multiple things at once is kind of..well it seems like the person saying they are so many things is trying too hard.
So I personally believe you can only be one, one person, one animal. It's what defines a person because I don't think one can be many. Now not everyone is a therian. Sometimes they have the physical characteristics but they are just human.
Whats the difference between a normal person and a therian? Well depend on who's asking. If you are trying to find out if you are therian, then it depends on what you feel inside you. Do you have an affinity for one specific animal? Does something connected with that animal draw you in? (ex: the moon for wolves, the sky for birds ect) To find out if you are therian you have to look inside yourself and if you feel like that is the truth then it probably is.
A person who is not therian might like animals but doesn't feel connected to one, they might not feel a heartfelt connection between them and nature, though they may appreciate it. They might even like the idea of being therian, but don't feel like they are one. There is a chance a therian who is simply too used to being human and not beliving in such things will reject or go one feeling out of place and live their entire lives not knowing they are therian.
Sometimes it takes and "Awakening" to find your animal and your true self, but no therians are not just wolves, though most are...only because most of those who discover they are therian happen to be wolves. This is becaus wolves are the only animals in hollywood who regulary change into people. So people who like wolves a lot watch those movies and sometimes find out they are therian. At least thats why I think most are wolves, maybe if they made werepanther movies it would be different heh. I hope I answered your question, though I probably created about fifty more...

Alright I was asking because someone told me once that i was a therian. i didn't understand what they meant because I am no wolf. when i asked it on another site they also explained it to me and one of my close friends told me that i am a combo one. I didn't understand but they said i was a lion and a leopard combination.

Don't let other people tell you who you are. If someone, friend or not, is trying to tell you you are a lion or leopard or both >.> well if you are therian, you would know within yourself. Do some meditating, whoever told you that may be wrong. You might just be human, or you might be therian, but you have to decide and find for yourself who and what you are.
Take me for example. I didn't know I was therian until I was awakened, and after that I knew I was wolf. I just knew, deep inside i knew that was who I was, there was not a doubt in my mind. If you can find that you feel that strongly about it about an animal and know that that animal is you, then you just might be therian. But don't let someone else decide for you.

Therianism in my own point of view, is somewhat of what Azriel has said already. I have found that there is a spirit in every person, an "oversoul" as transcendentalists call it. And that has many forms, experiances, and feelings throughout it's reincarnations. An older soul will eventually take a liking and a tenancy toward a specific area (animal, form, charistic) and it will show in later reincarnations. Are you a therian? Thats a question you have to answer yourself, just sit down, don't think, don't ask yourself if your doing this right, just sit down and ask yourself in your mind and ask, "What Am I?" and whatever you feel, think, see after that...will be great signs. Do you feel connected to the thought of therianism? Not just a want, but a connection? Don't question what you feel, but feel the question that you ask yourself.

I believe I am a wolf, I love the moon and whenever it's full I feel as though I could run marathons around it. Full of energy and youth the feeling is amazing!
