Angora is a long and silky coat found in several animal species, a natural genetic mutation affecting the fur, causing it to grow faster and more abundantly than average. Like albinism, this mutation can occur in a wild individual, but it is most often selected and perpetuated in breeding to constitute breeds useful to man (rabbit, goat...) or for pleasure (cat, hamster...). These long hairs can possibly be spun to obtain a wool fiber of the same name, most often from Angora rabbits.

The name comes from the old form of the place name borne by the Turkish city of Ankara.
