· The Angora is one of the oldest breeds of rabbit it is thought to have originated in Turkey hundreds of years ago

· They were initially bred for their wool

· There are four types of Angora: English Angora, French Angora, Satin Angora and Giant Angora.

· The English Angora is adorned with what are called "furnishings". These are growths of wool on the tips of the ears and front feet. The ears should be well covered with a ball-like tuft of wool but they should also have a fur covering over the outside of the ear from the base up to the tufts

· Their eyes are rich ruby red

· The English Angora is gentle in nature, but not recommended for those who don't enjoy grooming their animals

· Since the introduction of the white or albino Angora, some beautiful coloured Angoras have been bred

· The French Angora is slightly larger than the English Angora and requires less grooming

· The Satin Angora has no furnishings on face, ears, or feet. They are also easy to groom compared to the English angroa.

· The Giant Angora is only white with three hair types in its wool: underwool, awn fluff, and awn hair. They are gentle, loving rabbits.
