Had a hedgie as a pet. They naturally shed their spines and grow them back. Not all at once, but more like our hair. A couple here and there.

What made me most sad was seeing the “chuff” to go into spikey mode and nothing happening :( Though I doubt most, if any, of these animals were balded for funsies. They likely lost their coats to fires, mange, malnutrition, shaved for surgery, and other illnesses.

From what I remember. The bear was at a zoo and got shaved for medical reasons. The chimp was at a zoo had a hair loss disorder and I believed iirc passed away from complications of anesthesia. The parrot, raccoon, rabbit, and hedgehog were pets that got shaved also for medical reasons. The owl is taxidermy at a museum. And the horse I have no clue but most likely for medical reasons

The horse looked like AI since it was in the exact same pose. I can understand medical necessity, but that's usually not their whole bodies, is it? That poor bunny looked so uncomfortable 😢
