Angora rabbit

<p>The Angora rabbit , one of the most ancient groups of <a href="/facts/Domestic_rabbit/AWQVfEX1">domestic rabbit</a> breeds, which is bred for the long fibers of its coat, known as <i><a href="/facts/Angora_wool/kf4uoI7k">Angora wool</a>.</i> They are gathered by <a href="/facts/Sheep_shearing/4Xelhyfz">shearing</a>, combing or <a href="/facts/Plucking_(hair_removal)/xjc8sxGA">plucking</a>. Because rabbits do not possess the same <a href="/facts/Allergy/dYAVosh8">allergy</a>-causing qualities as many other animals, their wool is an important alternative. There are at least 11 distinct breeds of Angora rabbit, four of which are currently recognized by the <a href="/facts/American_Rabbit_Breeders_Association/MBfnhjwx">American Rabbit Breeders Association</a> (ARBA): the English Angora, the French Angora, the Giant Angora and the Satin Angora. Other unrecognized breeds include the German Angora, the Finnish Angora, the Chinese Angora, the Japanese Angora, the Korean Angora, the Russian Angora, the St Lucian Angora and the Swiss Angora.
