Angora Rabbits

Rabbits are normally very ordinary, run-of-the-mill creatures, one of the first animals that babies learn to recognize. But some rabbits are totally not ordinary.

Angora rabbits are born looking just like a normal rabbit, they do have longer fur than many rabbit breeds, but that's all.


But just look at these crazy adult Angoras!

Depending on the breed, Angora rabbits usually weigh 6-12 pounds. They usually have a coat length of 3-5 inches.

Over the course of one year a single large Angora can produce enough wool to make an adult sized sweater. Angora sweaters are much more comfortable than wool.

I would like to keep an Angora rabbit, but I think it might be too much work to keep one, since you have you have to groom them every day.
