Protected Angora rabbits receive special care in Ankara

Endemic Angora rabbits, a breed native to Ankara that later spread around the world, are being bred under protection at the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality’s Atatürk Children’s and Wildlife Park.

The park, located within the Atatürk Forest Farm and home to a variety of animals including monkeys, rabbits, red deer and flamingos, has a dedicated enclosure for Angora rabbits.

Visitors can observe the rabbits up close, with the animals attracting particular interest from children.

Known for their long, soft coats, Angora rabbits are considered one of the world’s oldest domesticated rabbit breeds.
