Generally animals don't go bald in old age although somewill have some hair loss as part of endocrine disorder.
as for going grey that is quite common. it is usually most noticable on the face

Hair goes through a number of changes in your lifetime.
At a young age it can become thicker, with a slightly different structure. This explains the changes in hair colour and curlines that can often appear from young child -> adult.
In later life the ability of your body to generate colour molecules in your growing hair may be lost, partially or completely. Thus you get grey hair.
I do not know what occurs in other animals.

Old age? Animals? Donkeys have grey hair all their lives. Babies are bald.

high testerone levels trigger baldness, the human male has a much greater range of testerone levels than animals ie some men have very low levels and others very high, any animal species will all have very similar levels.
Thus bald men tend to be much more virile than those with hairy heads
Many hairy domestic animals will go grey though, dogs particularly

Every so many years your body is completely replaced with a replica, a clone if you like, everything from your thoughts, feelings and memory to your appearance is copied, more or less.This arises from cell division or mitosis. As you age this process becomes less and less effective and we start to see the effects of aging; hair loss, wrinkles, graying.

Gorillas go grey when they age, so do other animals. It's not just us. And I believe it's hormonal - just part of the ageing process.

Actualy it does - dogs and gorillas both go grey. Not all humans go bald after all.
