Most commonly it is wool from sheep; sheep do not have fur, but, rather wool. Also, llamas, alpacas, and goats are all wool producers whose fleeces, coats and such are spun into yarn.
Common fiber types you might have heard of:
Merino wool comes from Merino sheep.
Angora fiber comes from Angora rabbits.
Mohair fiber comes from Angora goats.
Cashmere fiber is cashmere goats.
Rabbit, buffalo and camel are also used. Some people spin pet fur (dog and cat), though it usually has to be blended with some wool because of the short length of the individual hairs. Spun dog fur is called "chiengora."
Recently New Zealand has started harvesting Bushtail Opossums, which are considered a pest there, for fur which is spun into yarn.
