    animals raised for their hair or fur for textiles

    Fiber animals are animals that are specifically raised for their hair or fur, which can be harvested and spun into yarn or thread for textiles. Common examples include sheep (wool), goats (mohair and cashmere), alpacas, and rabbits (angora). These fibers are valued for their warmth, softness, and durability, making them essential in the production of high-quality fabrics and garments.
