What is a "collar"?

A collar is a distinct band, ring, or marking encircling the neck or throat region. It can vary in appearance, ranging from a broad and prominent band of fur, feathers, or skin to a more subtle or fine line. The collar may have a different color, texture, or pattern compared to the rest of the body, creating a visual contrast. Some animals, such as certain bird species or mammals, possess collars that are particularly prominent, serving as an important feature for identification and distinguishing individuals. The collar can play a role in communication, display, or camouflage, depending on the species.
