Humans are not the only ones who suffer from hair loss. Whether caused by disease or old age, this condition can affect our animal friends<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair loss from the head or body is technically called alopecia. It can have many different causes, such as natural processes (seasonality or aging), biological dysfunctions (vitamin or mineral imbalance), genetic mutations, diseases or parasitic infestations. Some dogs, cats<\/a>, rats and guinea pigs were even bred to be hairless by humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, the weird animals<\/a> from our list below don\u2019t seem to mind their hair, fur or feather loss. What do you think \u2013 are these hairless animals still just as cute as with their furs and feathers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dolores the bear is among other female bears that were affected by sudden hair loss at a zoo in Leipzig, Germany. Some experts believe this was caused by a genetic defect, though the animals do not seem to be suffering from any other afflictions. (Source: Daily Mail<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
