thick fur
Insulating animal covering
Thick fur is a dense coat of animal hair that provides insulation against cold.
The phrase describes fur with closely packed fibers rather than sparse coverage: Arctic foxes have thick fur that keeps them warm in extreme temperatures.
It appears in descriptions of wildlife, pet breeds, and clothing materials.
