smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary follicles

Secondary hair follicles are smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary hair follicles, typically in mammals with dense fur or wool. They produce finer, shorter hairs that contribute to the overall thickness and insulation properties of the animal's coat. These follicles are crucial for maintaining the density and texture of the fur, especially in species adapted to cold environments.
