Just like humans, animals come in different shapes, different sizes, different appearances, and guess what? Different hairstyles.
Every animal has a different name for their “hair.” For example, the sheep have wool, the dogs have fur, and birds have feathers. In the animal kingdom, “hair” can also be called pelage or coat.
