The Angora rabbit (in Turkish, Ankara tavşanı) is a variety of domestic rabbit that is raised by its hair, the angora wool. It is thought to originate in Angora, (now called Ankara) in Turkey, as the Angora cat and the Angora goat, producer of the mohair, which are characterized by their long, silky hair.

The Angora rabbit was a companion animal of French royalty in the mid-eighteenth century; at the end of the century it had spread throughout the rest of Europe. In the USA. Angora rabbits appeared in the 20th century. His extremely gentle nature makes him a good companion animal.

Its abundant coat is subject to economic exploitation. The small diameter, 11 microns, note and the length of the hairs are two very attractive factors for the textile industry, since garments made with this type of fiber weigh less than wool and give much more shelter. The angora is part of high quality garments. Because of its abundant coat, it should be brushed two to three times a week.
