What describes rollback fur?

1. A coat of fur that turns gray as the rabbit ages

2. A gradual return of the fur to its normal position when stroked from the hindquarters to the shoulders

3. A coat of fur that falls out in clumps

4. A coat of fur that remains wet

The correct answer is: A gradual return of the fur to its normal position when stroked from the hindquarters to the shoulders

Rollback fur refers to the process of a rabbit's fur returning to its normal position when stroked from the hindquarters to the shoulders. This term is often used in the context of rabbit fur grooming and is a natural response for rabbits to groom themselves and maintain their fur. Option A is incorrect because the color change described is unrelated to rollback fur. Option C is also incorrect because rabbits typically do not experience clumps of fur falling out. Option D is also incorrect because rabbit fur is not typically wet. Remember, the correct answer is B - rollback fur is a natural process in rabbits where the fur easily moves back to its initial position when stroked in a certain direction.
