== Characteristics == [[File:Colored Angora Goat.jpg|thumb|The goats are normally white, but may also be black, brown or grey]] The Angora is a moderately small goat, standing about {{val|50||β55|u=cm}} at the [[withers]].{{r|cabi|page=357}} It is slender, elegant and light-framed;{{r|dad}} the head is small, with semi-lop ears. It is usually horned; in billies the horns are commonly long, twisted and strong.{{r|cabi|page=357}} With the exception of the face and legs, the animal is entirely covered in a coat of long ringlets of fine and lustrous [[mohair]].{{r|dad}} This is not goat hair as seen on other breeds, but the down or undercoat which, in this breed only, grows much longer than the outer hair coat. The face and coat are normally white, but β particularly in southern Turkey β black, brown and grey animals also occur.{{r|cabi|page=357}}
