    thick coat of soft hair covering non-human mammals

    Fur refers to the thick coat of soft hair covering the skin of many non-human mammals. It serves multiple functions, including insulation to maintain body temperature, protection from environmental elements, and sometimes camouflage. In biological terms, fur is also known as pelage, and it can vary greatly in texture, color, and density among different species.
