'''Fur''', also known as the '''pelt''' or '''pelage''', refers to the [[W:Hair|hair]] of non-[[human]] [[mammal]]s.

The pelt is commonly 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 [[porcupine]]s), and bristles (which make up the mane of [[lion]]s). The pelage is significant in several respects: as insulation; as a guard against injury; and, in its coloration and pattern, as a [[species]] adornment for mutual recognition among species members, concealment from enemies, or, in the case of many males, as a [[sex]]ual allurement to promote courtship and mating

Fur usually consists of two main layers:

* Ground hair or underfur — the bottom layer consisting of wool hairs which tend to be shorter, flattened, curly and denser than the top layer.
* Guard hair — the top layer consisting of longer straight shafts of hair that stick out through the underfur. This is usually the visible layer for most mammals and contains most of the [[Wikipedia:Pigmentation|pigmentation]].

== Fur and furry ==

In the [[furry fandom]], the term ''fur'' can be used in several different ways. It can refer to a member of the [[fandom]] (''e.g.'', I'm meeting some furs for dinner). It can allude to a [[furry]] character in a story or movie (''e.g.'', ''[[Plonq]] often has disagreements with the other furs in his office.''). The term can also be used to describe a person's [[fursona]] (''e.g.'', ''Brightwings likes hanging out with other furs'').

=== Material ===

Fur correctly refers to real fur, but is also commonly used to refer to artificial substitutes, used for [[fursuit]]s and [[plush toy|plushie]]s.

Many [[furry fan]]s{{who}} are opponents of the use of real fur, both in and outside of furry fandom.{{fact}}
{{Q|Real fur is frowned upon at all furry conventions, in the same sense that leaping in front of speeding locomotives is frowned upon at comic book conventions.|4=[[Uncle Kage|Samuel Conway]], in response to a letter sent by [[Wikipedia:People_for_the_Ethical_Treatment_of_Animals|PETA]] to [[Anthrocon]], Inc.|5=[http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2009/05/21/Dear-Furries-Please-Dont-Wear-Real-Fur-Love-PETA.aspx Dear Furries, Please Don't Wear Real Fur. Love, PETA]}}
=== Colors and pattern ===

Most [[furries]] model their fursonas after real life [[animal]]s, giving natural colored colors and patterns. Others like to be more individual or unique and include colors or patterns not found in nature.

A pattern can be stripes, spots, bars, bands, rings, or other similar feature of a lighter or darker hue than the base color.

The base color can range anywhere within the rainbow, though mammals typically have more earth-tone colors (brown, blond, black, grey).

A common feature of fur coats in wild animals is ''countershading'' - having the underside a lighter color than the upperside. This is a form of [[camouflage]] which offsets the shading effects caused by sunlight shining from above; it effectively makes their overall colour more flat. This is possibly why many mammals have white or light fur on their chest and belly.
