Would you believe that at the center of this massive hairball is a little life form? There’s a tiny nose and mouth peeking through that impressive amount of fluff, and it belongs to one of an adorable breed of ultra-soft bunnies. Angora rabbits are coveted creatures, often raised in captivity for their incredibly fluffy fur. Looking at pictures it’s impossible to tell where the hair ends and the body of the rabbit begins.Angora wool is notoriously soft and is used to produce high-quality sweaters and coats. It certainly looks warm when modeled by the rabbit. These bunnies are very docile and will often keep as still as dolls. The Angora rabbit is a variety of domestic rabbit bred for its long, soft wool. The Angora is one of the oldest types of domestic rabbit, originating in Ankara (historically known as Angora), Turkey, along with the Angora cat and Angora goat. The rabbits were popular pets with French royalty in the mid-18th century, and spread to other parts of Europe by the end of the century. They first appeared in the United States in the early 20th century. They are bred largely for their long Angora wool, which may be removed by shearing, combing, or plucking.
