The Angora rabbit is arguably one of the most distinctive among so many bun breeds.
That’s due to its long, flowing locks that make it look like a ball of fluff.
Prized for their lovely wool, these rabbits also make excellent companions.

When it comes to looks, Angora rabbits stand out, what with their luxuriously thick and silky coat. They usually weigh around 5-10 pounds, have a compact body with a flat, broad head and short ears.
Coat
Thick, fluffy, and silky, that’s the typical description for an Angora rabbit’s coat. In some types, the thick wool covers almost the entire body, including the ears and feet.
Temperament
Angora rabbits have a sweet and gentle nature. Their mild temperament makes them wonderful animal companions.
Health
Given proper care, Angora rabbits live a long and healthy life. Still, they can develop breed-specific health conditions.
