fur-bearing
Having dense pelage
Fur-bearing describes an animal whose coat is thick and dense enough to be valued for its pelt: fur-bearing mammals like mink, beaver, and fox.
The term appears most often in contexts of trapping, wildlife management, and the fur trade.
A fur-bearing animal is one worth hunting or farming for its fur.
