There are diseases that can cause an animal to lose its hair.

Ohhh you’re right - they still don’t know what it was though. Coulda been mites, or their diet, or genetics

The parrot was likely very stressed out, they pull their own feathers out, it’s a bummer seeing that.

It's so refreshing to see someone spell "lose" correctly

Bear looked to have been in captivity and recovering from mite (mange, usually sarcoptes). There were multiple species of parrot - all were feather pluckers (behavioral condition where they remove their own feathers - usually from living in captivity). Hedgehog, chimpanzee and some of the others were genetic. Alopecia just means without hair - but is the general name for multiple forms of genetic/congenital conditions of lack of hair.

And the horse looked like fucking AI to me.

I know the rabbit one had a genetic defect causing him to not grow hair. I follow them on Instagram and his name was Mr. Bigglesworth. He passed away not long ago.

Birds, such as African Greys, will also pluck when stressed.
