Angora Rabbit

Even in the wild, rabbits are the epitome of fluffy cuddliness, although some are fluffier than others. The Angora Rabbit, which was bred expressly for its coat and whose soft, silky, long fur is used to manufacture Angora wool, is one of the fluffier types of rabbits. In the first half of the 18th century, the Angora, which had its origins in Turkey, was introduced to Europe. There are approximately 11 different Angora breeds, ranging in size from the diminutive English Angora, which weighs just 4 pounds, to the aptly titled Giant Angora, which weighs at least 12 pounds and can generate more than a pound of wool in a single shearing.

Angora rabbits require regular grooming due to the amount of their fluff. The fur might mat if the coat is not taken care of. The animal may become ill as a result, in addition to causing them agony. They are particularly prone to the condition known as a wool block. Rabbits eventually eat some of their own furs when they brush themselves. If it accumulates in the digestive tract, the rabbit won't be able to pass it, which could result in a blockage that is lethal. Therefore, routine shearing and plucking of the rabbit's fur benefit both the rabbit and the Angora wool industry.
