Pelage
In
mammals, pelage is the
hair,
fur, or
wool that covers the
animal. In many mammals, the pelage is made up of more than one type of hair. Some of the most prominent types of hair that make up the pelage include guard hairs (such as the defensive spines of
porcupines), bristles (which make up the
mane of lions), and the underfur, which traps in air to maintain temperature.
