Angora Goat
a variety of the common goat with long, silky hair. There are two or three varieties of the breed. The animal's coat is composed of two sorts of material-one hairy, short, and close to the skin; the other longer and woolly, farther from the skin. The lat ter is the most plentiful and most valuable. Of this goat's hair, often called camel's wool, camlets are extensively manufactured here. The Angora goat is bred for his hair, called Mohair in the United States and in Cape Colony, and has also been introduced into Australia.
