Angora
Angora rabbits are domestic rabbits bred for long, harvestable wool rather than ordinary short fur. The name is linked historically to Ankara, Turkey, and today covers several related breeds and national types, including English, French, Giant, Satin, German, and other Angora lines. They may be white or colored, small or large depending on type, but all carry a long coat that can be spun into soft fiber. English Angoras have heavier facial furnishings, French Angoras cleaner faces, Giant Angoras larger bodies, and Satin Angoras sheen.
Keeping Angoras is much more hands-on than keeping a smooth-coated rabbit. Wool must be combed, clipped, or plucked on a schedule so it does not mat, trap moisture, or contribute to wool block when loose fiber is swallowed. Housing should stay dry and well ventilated because damp litter ruins fiber and irritates skin. Fiber breeders track coat density, staple length, texture, and shedding pattern, while pet homes need to be honest about grooming time. Like all rabbits, Angoras require hay for gut and dental health.
