What describes flyback in rabbit fur?

Flyback in rabbit fur refers to how the fur responds when it is stroked or ruffled. Specifically, it describes the ability of the fur to return quickly to its original position after being disturbed. In the context of grooms or strokes, a coat with good flyback will spring back immediately, indicating that the guard hairs and undercoat are healthy and well-structured.

This characteristic is important for assessing the quality of the rabbit's coat, suggesting optimal conditions for the animal's health and grooming practices. A robust flyback is often sought after in show rabbits as it contributes to the overall presentation of the animal.

Other options may describe different aspects of fur characteristics, but they do not encapsulate the quick responsiveness that defines flyback in rabbit fur.
