-->'''Pinkie Pie''', ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''

* Hiram Flaversham, the father of Olivia in ''TheGreatMouseDetective''. And this is in a universe where most mice don't have human-like head hair.

[[caption-width-right:325:It's no big deal if you lose your hair (or hairlike feathers) when you have fur or feathers underneath that, too.]]

* [[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Elderly_pony_bubble_pipe_cutie_mark_S2E08.png This background character]] from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' called "Mr. Waddle". He appears in the second title sequence of the series, and some episodes, such as ''"The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well"''.

* Rare non-animal example: [[TheDragon Professor Z]] from ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} Cars 2]]'' appears to have damaged wiring on his roof that gives him the appearance of a bald head.

* Subversion: ''MyCage'' had anthropomorphic animal men go literally bald leaving no fur on their heads from their eyebrows up, creating a . . . very odd look.

* Minor variation: In ''WorldOfWarcraft'', male goblins are generally always naturally bald even from infancy with only the females tending to have hair. Since they became playable, several male goblin hairstyles were added, usually receding crownlines or tacky combovers (which can become FridgeLogic for anyone well versed in how goblins generally appear for the past 10 years in the franchise) but the point remains that the "balding" "older" male goblins still have more hair than the "normal" "young" male goblins (who at most have enough hair for a ponytail).

* Rare plant example: [[PunnyName Mr. Nezzer]] from ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' is a zucchini with a balding head.
* Rare female example: Fluffy Louise Lopart from ''HandyManny'' sports a combover just like her balding owner, Mr. Leonard Lopart.

* The elderly Fozziewig (Fozzie Bear) in ''AMuppetChristmasCarol''.

* The second opening of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' briefly features [[http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Elderly_pony_bubble_pipe_cutie_mark_S2E08.png this pony]] whom fans have nicknamed 'Combover Liverspot' (Named Mr. Waddle), he also appears as a background character in the episode "The Mysterious Mare Do-Well".
** Cranky Doodle Donkey from ''A Friend in Deed''.

* Rare non-animal example: [[TheDragon Professor Z]] from ''[[{{Cars}} Cars 2]]'' appears to have damaged wiring on his roof that gives him the appearance of a bald head.

* [[DisneyDucksComicUniverse Scrooge McDuck]] had a head of red feathers in his youth that disappeared by the time he was middle aged, leaving two feather tufts/muttonchops on the side of his head and the standard Disney duck feathers left on his head. Scrooge [=McDuck=], with his mutton chops and crown line still has more "hair" than his nephew Donald or even Daisy Duck!

* In the {{Pinobee}} video game series, Pinobee's creator is an older male bee who has a crown line of receding hair around his head to accent his age. No other insect in the series has hair, even the children.
* Dr_Death, the old Techo who runs the pound in {{Neopets}} has a receding hairline, despite being a lizard (making it another case where a "balding" individual has more hair than the standard example.
* Cranky Kong from DonkeyKongCountry has the withered white crownline but then "normal" gorilla fur beneath that.
* A few of the male [[PettingZooPeople anthro]] characters from {{Arthur}} fit this trope.
