<human>: Is there any way to tell the difference between real and synthetic fur?
<bot>: Yes, there are several ways. Synthetic fur is usually made of nylon or polyester, while real fur can be made from animal hair such as rabbit, fox, mink, and chinchilla. Real fur tends to have a softer texture than synthetic fur, which feels more like plastic. Additionally, real fur often has a distinctive smell that's not present in synthetic fur.
