What characteristic distinguishes satin fur from normal fur?

1. Larger hair shafts

2. Smaller transparent hair shaft creating a sheen

3. Shorter fur length

4. Brighter color

The correct answer is: Smaller transparent hair shaft creating a sheen

Satin fur has a distinct sheen or shine due to smaller and more transparent hair shafts. These hair shafts reflect light differently compared to larger hair shafts, which is why option A is incorrect. Option C is incorrect because satin fur is not necessarily shorter than normal fur and can vary in length. Option D is incorrect because the brightness of the color does not have an impact on the texture of the fur.
