While in the first picture the single strand of rabbit hair may seem to be merely a piece of thread having no significance to why people tend to wear it for warmth, it is in truth a very hollow piece of fur.

The reason for so many air pockets is because the heat that is emitted by the organism would be stored in the pockets, further insulating/preserving heat. This is shown in duck down and other types of fur animals. |
