Angora
(redirected from Angora rabbit)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Angora

Earlier form of Ankara, Turkey, which gave its name to the Angora goat (see mohair), and hence to other species of long-haired animal, such as the Angora rabbit (a native of the island of Madeira) and the Angora cat. Angora ‘wool’ from these animals has long, smooth fibres, and the demand for the fibre has led to wool farming in Europe, Japan, and the USA.
