Question

Name six animals that yield wool. [3 MARKS]

Answer 1

Naming animals: 0.5 Mark each

Wool comes from sheep, angora goat, yak, llama, alpaca and camels.

All these animals have a thick coat of hair or fleece, which keeps them warm. Wool is obtained from this fleece.
Sheep wool is more commonly available in India. In Tibet and Ladakh, yak wool is more common, whereas, in Jammu and Kashmir, it is the angora wool. The famous pashmina shawls come from the soft underfur of the Kashmiri goat.
