Angora rabbits are characterized by their long, fluffy fur, famous for its use in sweaters and other clothing. In addition to their contribution to the textile industry, Angora rabbits are bred to show and as pets. In the 18th century, Angora rabbits were popular among the French royalty as pets. They are thought to have originated in Turkey, and their name derives from Ankara, Turkey’s capital city. Because Angora rabbits are an old breed, they are not as skittish as some other rabbits and take well to human company.
